That song
Stirring emotions
Tucked deep inside
Memories of you
Swelling like the tide
Only to be pulled
Back into the deep

Barnacles stab at my feet
Instinct tucks them upward
Into my groin
Yet it is not enough
To wash away the pain

I’m soaked in sadness
God has already taken her
Under His wing
Her feet dripping with
The blood of her own demons

Yet you still remain
Trapped beneath the waves
Hiding in an empty shell
Refusing to budge
Though light and air
Reside above
Waiting for you
To take a chance
