Why did I dive this far into the dark
Knowing I couldn’t swim?
Knowing the light would slowly vanish above me?
Knowing the deep could easily swallow me whole?
There was no lifeguard close by
And the boat had too many holes
So I did the best I could,
But it wasn’t enough.
And now as I drift
To the bottom of the sea
I see
There was no way around this.
I would always come back to this moment.
With the light slowly vanishing
And water getting deeper
Only reaching the bottom
When the light blinks out.
I suddenly don’t mind
That the water is so cold
Because my lungs have burst
And I can no longer breathe
But it feels like maybe
This was all for the best.
Maybe my life is better off
At the bottom of the sea.
