Down, down, deeper
I sink
Into a deep
sea of loneliness
Like Jack Dawson
in "Titanic"
As he lets go
of Rose's hands
Sinking down
into the dark icy depths
I let go of David's
hands a lifetime ago
And now I can
no longer see him floating at the surface
I can no longer
see any light above me
In this cold
sea of isolation
I wonder, will
some strong, handsome hero
Swim down to
me and pull me back to the sunlight
Back to life
sustaining oxygen
Or will I just
continue sinking to the bottom
Until my last
breath is ripped out of my chest
As I come to
rest on the muddy surface
A sunken wreck,
to lie in my grave
If indeed, there
is no savior to pull me out of this frigid sea
Then I pray
the ocean floor approaches quickly to end this bitter anguish.
