atlantic

please help me go
please help me leave
with bated breath
lungs choke and heave

please let me drown
in waves of black
flood me with pain
don't bring me back

don't lift me up
don't give me hope
don't show the sun
don't let me cope

let me go quiet
let me calmly sleep
compose a eulogy
for a life i can't keep

please let silence
be my last embrace
please let memories
leave no lasting trace

pull me under
and bury me here
let darkness take over
the remaining fear

let me go
before i try and swim
let me go
let the lights finally dim
