sunken

I want to let you read one day

all about the blood

the chronic crushing ***** wave

and the whiskey flood

 

I want to rock you gently to sleep

and protect you from the plague

the sadness of the the day

I drown in the wave

 

I have a runny faucet

in the back of my mind

the drops just keep drip-dropping

filling up my time

 

I want to write you a secret sonnet

and wrap it up in lace

and every word I write on it

will remind you of my face

 

I want to let you read one day

about all the blood

the chronic pounding faucet

that's causing my mind to flood

 

I'm drowning in an ocean

filled up with *****

and now I've met a mermaid

that won't let me loose

 

I'm a sunken treasure

at the bottom of the sea

tied to an anchor

that won't let me leave

 

my jewels are really shiney

though you can't see from up there

it's hard to come all the way down here

without any air
