Platonic Undertow
Back to poems
Your tragic flaw
Is that you get caught up
In the platonic undertow

It holds you down
And you're afraid to take a breath
But sooner or later
Everyone breathes

You wrapped your car around a tree today
What a simple mistake
What a dyer oversight

Now you're gone
But it doesn't matter
Because you were always caught up
In the platonic undertow
Seeing only your pathetic overflow
Of selfishness
And loneliness
And now you're gone
