Towards the Sea

 

Frosty railings etch my hands,
Bitter wind gropes at my hair,
Pulling me down, down,
Pulling me,
Pulling me towards the sea.

Interminable depths capture my gaze,
White-foam waves beckon me forth,
Drawing me down, down,
Drawing me,
Drawing me towards the sea.

Cold coast gales savage my lungs,
Brackish droplets sear my skin,
Pushing me down, down,
Pushing me,
Pushing me toward the sea.

White wave static fills my ears,
Sanguine water burns my eyes,
Calling me deeper, deeper,
Calling me,
Calling me deeper into the sea
