Return to Poetry
A Harsh Reality
I find myself
Swimming
In the sea
Bound only to drown me
When I stop to breathe
Water fills my lungs
It’s reaching heights
Over me
Sending me to new depths
As thoughts of you
No longer comfort me
Instead, force me under
Set to sink
I find myself
Wrapped up in you
Like a life-vest
The truth’s weight
Pulls me further
This undertow
Will take me
Where I go
Only god will know
Emptied thoughts of you
The current is too strong
To battle wits
I will let my body
Be taken
With the flood
When a harsh reality
Sets in
And the sea
Delivers me
