Breathe deep

The only way out

Escapes me

Sinking

Lower in

A slow dive

Lay here

Motionless

Alone

Breathe deep

In waters of purity

Lungfuls of what is to be

Sinking

In waters of purity

Lungfuls of what is to be

Lay here

In waters of purity

Lungfuls of what is to be

Quiet

Weightless

Eatatonic

Eyes unblinking

Mute and empty

Bury me in silt

The pain comes in distant waves

Echoes of what once were hidden wounds

Voices cast out through still air

Listen for me calling home

Breathe deep
