Cruel Tides

keep your cruel love
in the cruel, cruel seas
I never meant to bathe
I never meant to stay afloat
let me drown now
let me sink
deeply and darkly
drift down, down
and fade to
black;
no more reviving
don't resucitate
let it fall away
let it float on the tide
let it wash ashore
the bones
of the cruel love
that kept me
half alive
on the cruel sea of life.
