Sea of the Past

The past is holding me back.
It's drowning me in a sea of regret.

Hold on now.
The rain is coming in.
Man overboard.

I can't seem to swim.
The waters in my lungs.
I'm going under, deep in the abyss.

I cannot see
I cannot see

Coughing, eyes shut.
I'm gone.
Such a beautiful world down under.

The water is black,
clear walls caving in.
The past, it's under my skin.

I need to get out, to cut off lose ends.
I'm too far in.
The sea of the past has taken me in.
