Simply Water

He is a pool that I try to avoid, for I will surely drown.

Yet it is too late; I am lost in the wake.

Rather than sit on the bay, I've gone over the falls.

To drink from this cascade would fill me with vacuity.

The brine from this deep sea only serves to burn my eyes.

Tears stream, fighting to evade this element.

To no avail, for I have already drowned.
