it's a grim thought that changes my whole mindset
i can't find a way to shove the image of your face
out of my mind
i'm frightened that it will soon be gone
out of my grasp

i have nothing to hold onto
slowly sinking under the waves
again
my eyes inch up to the surface
to find the children and friends
laughing and whistling

crimson waves take me further
it slowly seeps from my own body
frozen, i find strange comfort
deeper by the second

how will i escape this once more?
