“Come away with me into the deep, my dear”
Sang the Sea, low and sweet.
Like a lullaby, like butterflies
I peered into the well

“Come away across the water, I can show you magnificent things”
Sighed the Sea, long and mournful.
Like a breeze, a gentle caress
I gazed out to the horizon

“Follow me down, my dear, come see me on the ocean floor”

Called the Sea, tempting and sensual
Like a lover’s kiss, a windswept tide
I sank deeper, and deeper still

“Let me show you death, my dear”

Whispered the Sea, faint and fading
Like a drowning girl, like a dying flame
I watched as my final breath left my lungs
