In the Deep

Sometimes I close my eyes

I see myself in the distance sunken in the darkness

Come back I say

and in a moment I am there

“why do you go so far away?”

You don’t seem to care

You just wander away

Defiantly, my recovered self stands tall

“Why must you trap me so close?”

let’s go let go

float in the dark waters for a while

Let’s turn off the noise and be less aware less here less there

who cares

“Won’t people miss me when I leave?”

They’ll hardly notice

You aren’t really here for them are you?

but then…. who is here for you?

When can you be free

to float with me?
