The Cruel Sea

In the sunlight it flatters to deceive But don’t be fooled by its calm exterior For beneath the welcoming surface You will succumb to its true nature Its lures you into a false sense of security Its intent is to drag you to its depths Sap your strength, every ounce of energy And squeeze from your body every breath She will let you surface for a breath Then drag you down again out of reach Then when she has toyed with you enough She dumps you lifeless on the beach
