Deep

Deep You cannot reach me I am far beyond your grasp Slipping beneath the waves The air is so far away From the depths i'm in Absolute zero is Clay Only the surface of my skin Void to warmth of sunshine Farther than the light can reach Evolving to live on the shallows' waste Been so long since there's been taste Bottomfeeder wants to be a leach Down here, the pressure is immense A vacuuous life Intensely defensive Silently sighing some more Holding my breath The plunge awaits In patient certainty But the water does not discern It runs deeper than the fates And the point of no return
