Creature of Darkness

How you suffer in the deepest pool of your thoughts

You are dragged down into the depths of deception why won't you
look up?

Look up toward the light! 

Swim to the surface where there is life, where there is hope

No, instead little dark creature,  you will choose the darkest depths to swim amongst what you cannot see,

To pretend there is nothing left for you to be.'

I've always imagined that you could see me through your fogged goggles you call eyes 

Your thoughts are on what you can not See but Feel,

Like your friend the slithering eel.

Is it the fatigue from countless hours of treading water of indecision that has cast its line of defeat onto you?  

hook line and sinker you have taken the bait of its deception.

Where is your fight? Swim! thrash!, push! and pull!

Instead you swim deeper, to colder waters, into its darkest depths hoping the line will snap but instead you find yourself unable to see what's in front of you.

 So fatigue comes for you once more and the blackness of nothing draws you near 

Wake up! Look Up! Swim! 
Swim toward the surface! Swim away from what has wrapped itself around you..


It seem forever that I have been out here patiently waiting in this life boat. I am growing tired thirsty and weary

yes...I am still sitting under the summer sun beating down my head with my heart feeling dried up and left for dead

  So I take a peek over, looking but catching no site of my lover 

I begin to wonder, is it time to pick up my oars against all hope to head for brighter shores....
