Day: Mar 7, 2021

Push me out of a window straight into an unforgivingly deep water.

Tell me I have to repay the pain,

Have to die for the slaughtered.

Cover my ears and push my head under, drag it down to the sea bed.

Ease the muscles, tie me down with kelps,

Make me feel unneeded.

Braid my hair into the seagrass, silence my lips with the sands of time.

Let the scariest of creatures observe me

While I cry in pantomime.

Let sharp rocks bruise my skin while the moonlight shoots sorry glances,

Ensure I give into this numbing stillness

While everyone else dances.
