Saltless Sea
Saltless Sea
What it is, I wish to see.
What it is, I long to be.
But here I am, floating in this saltless sea.
What it was, I've already seen.
What it was, I used to be.
But here I am sinking in this saltless sea.
Into its depths, under its waves
Unfathomable breadths, the darkness craves.
But here I am, gone forever in this saltless sea.
