Submerged

I want to tell you how I feel
I want to answer all your questions
I want to lay myself bare, in front of you
— Nothing you cannot see

But I am tangled, oh so tangled
There is no start, no end to what I feel
— I am submerged
No looking up, no time to breathe

And what I fear most
— In face of all precarity
Is that the waves will carry me away from you
Two hands reaching out through the night

— Never to touch
Nothing more cruel than the ocean
In its eternal abundance
And relentless dispersing of space
