Emotional Sea
I feel like I am drowning in a sea of emotion,
The undertow dragging me low,
The first few feet my lungs are pained,
As life flashes fast before my eyes,
I see mistakes and sadness as regret acts like a rip tide
Pulling me down deeper to the icy depths below,
The pressure now unbearable I feel my ribs compact,
As the vision like a weight keeps sinking me slow,
I am left thinking was my life just filled with sadness?
What about the times of madness?
Was I not happy even then?
Suddenly I see a face in the murky shadows of my mind,
Of happiness I am reminded,
Of a love that was requited,
Your beauty pushes out the madness,
It cuts away regret and sadness,
And buoyed I am with gladness I am lifted to the fore,
As my head breaches the surface,
I awaken from my slumber,
I am left with thoughts of wonder,
Are you my Sweet Lenore?
