Pushed underwater,
the light starts to fade.
Fading is the hope
that glimmers in your eyes.
Fading is the bond
that held your friendship together.
Fading is the light.
Just out of reach.
Years, months, minutes.
Missed you by just a little.
A missed chance to be
with you.
Now time rushes by and
the sun fades, as the
memories of fun glimmer on the surface.

The fading light, just out of reach.
More weight, again and again.
Over and over. More weight.
Hope going faster.
Love causing disaster.
Fear creating pain.
nothing more to gain.

Hoping for that final breath of air.
Pushed under deeper. Weight.
more weight.
again.
again.

Relax.
