Let Drown
Upon the dusk’s cruel wake, crushed beneath the waters’ break
I allow my body limp and lifeless to flow as if mere current passing
Never do my limbs grasp the shallows for their hopeless sake
And as for the question of “why?” I have grown tired of asking.
From the depths, I hear the ocean’s bellow
Her stomach grumbles as she drags me down
But I do not panic, for the dark be mellow
No use to swim, and so I let me drown.
