Lament of the Bottom Dweller

Image

How far have I sunk
In these hours of beautiful listing?
Soaked by the raging tides
That tear hungrily
Into my rusted flesh

Ive plummeted diligently
Inching closer to a heavy demise
A mighty burden
For the lonely depths
Marooned as a relic
Of finer days forgone

To my wonderful faltering
They raise their hollow glasses
Their marrows warmed
By the loving swig
Of a tiresome weight
Sent away with ease

Pitiless waves
Latch on to my worn bones
And i concede peacefully
To the solitude of their restful whim
