Nobody saw me walking through the
Waves that were calling me
“Deeper”
“Surrender”

Long past the shallows and the breakers
I turned to face the sky and
Weep
And sink.

Pulled beneath
The encroaching tide
Limbs cramping from fatigue
Hope flies off
Leaving me to drown
Drug down below
By the gravity

The unseen hands that won’t release me
Patiently drawing me
Under the currents

Numbness escapes into lethargy
Vanished the light and will to
Breathe
Will to be

Pulled beneath
The encroaching tide
Limbs cramping from fatigue
Hope flies off
Leaving me to drown
Drug down below
By the gravity

Sinking below
