Sunken by The Sea

What a day my life has been

Wash the sin then start again

Wakes of bliss and crests of pain

Alive through feeling, all the same

 

Memory drowned by trauma past

The sense of self could not outlast

Scouring my soul for virtues to recall

Who was I before I became nothing at all

 

I taste it in the air I breathe

Hints scattered throughout the seaside scene

Yet I remain in the confines of this cave

Alone with my echoes, no new sound made

 

One day, soon, I’ll listen for the wind

My one true chance to sail again

Until then, I’ll sink and wait

For tomorrow's tide to bring another day

I really liked this piece, I can relate to it. My only criticism was that in the last two and a half stanzas the meter became a bit rough. Great job either way! :)
