Elucidating Questions

How deep under the ocean do you have to be?

My mind asked the question and I dreamed

I dove further and further under the waves

Trying to make the light go away

It reflects off the surface, brighter in a sick way

But the light never left me no matter how much deeper I went

It feels torn apart and empty

But for a moment it felt so good to just be there

I wish I’d had more time but I didn’t believe him

I never do until he’s in front of me

I just pretend like I do
