Purgatory

Blackened waves dance turbulently
as I float upon their surface
With each crash against my body,
I inhale and drown a little more
Filling my lungs with the salted
reminder of all tears once shed
Selfishly pouring from my own eyes
I wish the sea would swallow me whole,
spit me out into my final hell
Instead, I drift along, no weight left
to my bones to drag me down
Just rotting flesh and the horrors of my mind
Drifting about aimlessly; this is my purgatory
Except there’s no heaven in sight
