Swimming in this salty sea
Stings wounds to life
Once buried deep inside
Now living at the surface
Open and exposed
They taunt me
I am covered in grief
I taste it on my lips
I'm desperate to escape.
Its' vastness frightens me
Panic rises up from the sea's floor
Gripping me
I move to quickly
And become tangled in its' embrace
The saltiness on my tongue
Steals my breath
And drowns my voice
It wouldn't matter if the scream
Escaped though
Because no one is there to hear my cry.
This sea is my life
And I am swimming in it alone.
