The Drowning Man |
| She stands twelve feet above the flood |
| She stares |
| Alone |
| Across the water |
| The loneliness grows and slowly |
| Fills her frozen body |
| Sliding downwards |
| One by one her senses die |
| The memories fade |
| And leave her eyes |
| Still seeing worlds that never were |
| And one by one the bright birds leave her… |
| Starting at the violent sound |
| She tries to turn |
| But final |
| Noiseless |
| Slips and strikes her soft dark head |
| The water bows |
| Receives her |
| And drowns her at its ease… |
| I would have left the world all bleeding |
| Could I only help you love |
| The fleeting shapes |
| So many years ago |
| So young and beautiful and brave |
| Everything was true |
| It couldn’t be a story… |
| I wish it was all true |
| I wish it couldn’t be a story |
| The words all left me Lifeless |
| Hoping |
| Breathing like the drowning man |
| Oh Fucshia! |
| You leave me Breathing like the drowning man |
| Breathing like the drowning man |
