Gills

The current and shade won't let me see you,

Down there where I know you are.


And I crouch here on the bank with my eyes held still.

Knowing you're down there, looking up.


So, I jump in.

I can't breathe but I soon figure out how.


And our world flows over, and tries to carry us away.

In an exchange of ideals and wills, we make a trade.


All while we've caught each other and given up the world we had.

To let it wash away while water fills our lungs.
