shades drawn,
I tried to swim
in a sea of sheets
cursed by demons
with life-jackets
who would never drown-
and as I suffocate,
their chests continue to rise
they float, I sink.
Please float away from me,
this underwater magnet
of misery.
I am anchored in you,
Sending
Out
Sadness-
waiting to wash ashore.

Please float away from me,
this underwater magnet
of misery.
I am anchored in you,
Sending

Sadness-
waiting to wash ashore.
