Night Swimming

Night swimming

Deep heavy tears fall down cheeks
 Heartbroken but still beats
 Capsized in ocean cruel deceit 
 Black day as the drugs shield the suns heat
 Lonely feel  emptiness defeat
 Swim from the wreckage and I think I can sleep
Awake in darkness the sharks waiting to eat
 Survive conflict of mind over evil which smells and reeks
A hand stretched out she smiled at me so gentle and sweet
Love was also friendship from a girl’s heart bigger than I ever hoped to meet

I liked the imagery and the way it describes despair then gives way to light. Well written. Best wishes Linda
