The Ocean

how i depict being in the middle of the ocean

we were lost
in the rushing waves
of forgetfulness,
the words engulfed
in the chaos,
constantly swirling
in confusion.

we lost sight of
who we are,
who we were,
as we were drowned by
our disillusions
wrapped in our ocean
of forbidden dreams.

we were lost
amidst the sounds
of the water crashing
into our bodies,
carrying us into
oblivion,
blinding us with
recurring darkness
as we grasp for breath
inside this liquid tomb.

we were lost,
clasped hands broken
by failed promises,
flailing uselessly
against the incoming
wrath of doubt
that weighed us down.

we were lost
as our wandering ship
capsized under
our unsteady feet,
throwing us into the
deadly embrace of once
calm waters
now churning in unrest.

we were lost,
hurtling towards
the waiting embrace
of the cold waters,
and in the depths
of the silence,
in the heart of the ocean,
we found ourselves
too late...
