I was thrown in the ocean,
beneath moon, and dark skies.
Cold water engulfed me.
Salt burned in my eyes.
I remember the beating;
Body broken- and numb.
I remember the panic,
I remember the gun...
I was thrown in the ocean.
Lungs burned in my chest
light played on the surface
body claimed by the depths.

I was thrown in the ocean,
beneath moon, and dark skies.
Cold water engulfed me.
Salt burned in my eyes.
I remember the beating;
Body broken- and numb.
I remember the panic,
I remember the gun...
I was thrown in the ocean.
Lungs burned in my chest
light played on the surface
body claimed by the depths.
