Drowning

A soul ready to die to escape getting caught by the devil in disguise.

————

I close my eyes,

and see you by my side.

I run and dive deep

in the life’s grieving sea.

Grazing the surface, ready to grasp

the fingertips sting me sharp.

You cannot reach inside.

But, your image, ripples can’t hide.

A single air-bubble escapes

as the consciousness fades.

With water filling my lungs,

hearing the ballads sirens sung.

Floating planks with sailors marks,

from ships in broken shards.

Departing senses feel in the dark

only the remnants of my corroded heart.
