Saviors

See the thrashing The panic Hear the cries The screams Know their drowning With no help Instinct engages I dive in head first The thrashing calms Panic subsides Less crying Screams change to whispers Support gives purpose I hold on tight Promising not to let go Now cast aside Once they can swim again Alone in the expanse Realizing their support Kept me afloat I feel myself begin to sink Slipping beneath the waves See the thrashing The panic Hear the cries The screams She knows I'm drowning With no help Instinct engages She dives in head first Don't perpetuate the cycle...
