How seductive her call is from the shore,
The way she sings when her waves crash against the reefs,
Or the way her touch at the bottom of my feet calls me to her
This cruel ocean that desires nothing more than to fill my body with her being

The cold deep embraces with a suffocating chill.
A jealous hug that drives the air from my lungs.
Pulling me ever deeper into its heart of darkness.
The light fades from my gaze as she begins to fill my air starved body.

Drained of will, I sink deeper into her clutches
She mercilessly tightens her hold on me
Oblivious to my tears, she refuses to let go
Swallowing up my life, my dreams and my soul as though they meant nothing

There are no more gasps for air
No flailing and suffering, nor resistance to her affection
She and I are one as her very being inhabits my husk of a body
Now that she's taken all from me; she lets go as I float to her surface

This fickle, seductive mistress relents her embrace
But too late, her body will forever become my final resting place.
