I break the surface
As the water recedes
I'm no longer fighting
Washed up in the weeds
I look for the voice
Calling out to me
Feeling the sand
Away from the sea
I crawl for a while
Then stand on my feet
I take a few steps
Snow following sleet
I walk for the hills
The sun escapes me
The night draws in
Moon lights the quay
There on the pier
You waited for me
You never gave up
You kept calling me
The pain in my heart
I left in the sea
No longer distressed
I'm finally free
