The Weight To Bare

Irrelevant notions and unrequited motions,
move me to a separate shore. 

I dive into complicated coves and muddled waters. 
To only be drowned,
by the weight of my own.

Washed atop a jagged ridge, 
I'm frigid by the cold. 
The cold feeling of desperate breath, I'll soon realize I'm alone. 

In this vast ocean, I'll have to dive.
Because to stay on this cold stoned bed...alone.
I'd surely die.

But where do I swim?
But towards rough waters.
For those waves, push me.
They push me farther.
