A spray of sea foam sticks salt to skin Washing my hands clean of grease Knowing full well it only delays the inevitable As you disappear into the blue abyss ... Leaking fluids and fuel, you sink A trail of iridescent black seeping from your chest It's cold down here, far too cold Though even from the bottom you can see the surface --- But I see only blues and blacks as I turn my vessel towards shore Leaving behind only a shimmering stain I can live my life again Now without the weight of my own invention ... But you wait, patiently, unable to move Undying I eventually forget you all but completely But you cannot forget We will meet again soon.

Breath into me So I know you're there

Sink or swim Sink or swim My arms are heavy My heart's what's dragging me down My legs stopped kicking The cold seeps into my bones It's calmer below the surface But it's far too loud The fight has left me My lungs are empty I sink I sink

Deep below the surface Your eyes fixed on mine Your words float up to me Where they burst inside my mind Fear clouds my judgement And tears roll down my cheeks They melt into the ocean Swept off by the sea When I said goodbye it was supposed to be the last time There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do When I said goodbye it was supposed to be the last time There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do Rust covers my body My arms can barely move Neglect has made me wither But I know you'll be here soon I watch you slowly sinking To the depths that are my home Your gaze is unwavering As you stare into your soul When you said goodbye it was supposed to be the last time There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do When you said goodbye it was supposed to be the last time There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do When you said goodbye it was supposed to be the last time (There's no turning back with your hands around my neck) There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do When you said goodbye it was supposed to be the last time (There's no turning back with your hands around my neck) There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do

about

Submechanaphobia: The fear of submerged man-made objects
What's down there that you're so scared of?
What did you make that you sank into the abyss never to be seen again?
