ocean walker

If I walked on the ocean
I think I would sink
My feet may be surefooted
but my heart's on the brink

With the waves crashing over me
the foam filling my lungs
I lose my footing
I think back on my wrongs

The world swirls blue
greens and shadows surround
I fight with the current
The tow pulling me down

Down and down I go
Not likely to resurface
Struggling with the phantoms
The last of life's embrace...

Why did I walk on the water
What did I hope to prove
I've lost my life, my hope
I'll not see you soon
