I gently rock on the waves of the ocean
I am held above the ever seething dark
Though it makes me want to sink away
It makes me want to run once a day

I want to wake in the morning new and alive
But deep inside, I am dragged back down
The ragged indifference and repeating dive
To the darkness where I cannot be found

I found a wasp inside my room
Fed it sugar water, let it roam
I cannot know if it deserved to die
And I'm sure that it too has a home.

Somewhere, someone is looking for me
Just as hard as I am looking for them
But we'll pass each other on the street
And never see each other again

In between here and there
As I've  been, as I've  cared
I found the deep blue sea
And found a reason to be

For on the crest of the deepest
I learned the angler fish secrets
And spoke softly from then on
All this after you were gone

My bones ache, for reasons I cannot name
In the dawn of a cold and moonless night
I would like to say I left, yet still I remain
Under a sky without it's lonely  light

I sit at the bottom of the ocean
Waiting for my friends to come
But they like birds, fly, don't sink
What is all of this?  I think

I sit at the bottom of the ocean
On the cliff of the deepest trench
What a dreadful, likely notion
The edge yet remains my bench
