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 lie on the muddy surface
A
sunken wreck, to rest 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.
