Deep sadness close to despair
Can’t find a reason to be
Feels like I’m adrift
alone on a darkening sea
Lights have gone out one by one
Then three at a time, leaving no-one
anywhere near:
shadows gathered around the sun
There’s not even a breathe of wind
Only a dreadful lonely stillness,
the kind that feels empty but not
peaceful
If I dig down a bit I can feel;
but it’s all too much.
Like diving to the bottom of the sea;
and having to struggle back up
just so I can breathe
At least I still
want to breathe
Maybe there is some trick in that
