Waves

 

I know the waves are coming for me 

Waking up later and later 

Resisting to get out of bed 

Curtains closed 

Don’t let that light in

Keep it dark 

Think on my thoughts 

Shower me with gloom 

The doom of darkness 

Seeping through me 

My veins run hot

Blood pouring out 

These thin slices  

Remind me 

The decisions once made

Waterfalls cascade 

Rocks I fall unto 

I break my back 

The release of tension 

Water flowing over me 

No air to breathe 

Thoughts washing over me 

No light to see 

I’m beaten and broken 

These waves come for me.
