The ocean
Dark and unforgiving
 It swallows the dead and shakes the living
 Carrying me across it’s waves 
 Finding it useless when counting how many days.
 
 It’s carried me most of my life 
 Until the waters noticed my strife.
 It twisted and stirred
 The oceans face blurred.
 
 The waves growing bigger
 The clouds darkening, growing thicker
 They saw my sins and my wrongs
 It knew I would never belong.
 
 So now my body like a deadweight
 It cast me to an unimadginable fate.
 It crashed and roared
 The ocean wasn’t hiding any more.
 
 I am lost within it’s anger
 Finding myself as a complete stranger 
 Not knowing of the cold and the numb.
 I wished for the waves to be done.
 
 Unable to hold my breath any longer I began chocking on salt water
 Although the waves did not faulter
 It pushed me under and dragged me around
 Turning my whole world upside down
 
 The ocean is lovely.
 The ocean is a mystery
 The ocean is divine
 The ocean is my demise
