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
