Days Lost
by Raini St. John
Perhaps in days when dawn is lost
And the sickening silence of the waters drown
My eyes, drag me to share their darkened fate
Beneath the murky surface to the never ending night
Of the deep cold far below the light
Perhaps in days where heat is lost
The warmth of the rays dull against
My skin, help me freeze to blocks of ice
And no longer shake the air with rattling breath
Perhaps in days where day is lost
I may be saved by the oceans buried deep by
My soul, save me from the pressures
Of life long lived yet long forgotten
