the call

waves crash against my feet

and I shiver

it's dark

and there is no moon

to show me the way

I shouldn't have come here

my thoughts too confused

to be in a place like this

the pull of the sea is so strong

and I'm freezing

my body shaking,

if I step into the water

it will be warmer there,

I go deeper

and the waves reach my knees,

and then my waist

and brush against my breasts,

I close my eyes

and let myself feel the water

I feel it wash over me

the sounds of the wind

calming me down,

it's late... I need to head back

but I want to stay,

I don't want to leave...

I sink into the water

and it reaches my neck,

I sink in

I don't see

I don't hear

time stops

I don't feel cold anymore...

deeper

deeper

so deep...

I swim out, inhale sharply

and slowly smile

the fire in me

sparkling again

I got what I wanted

so I leave the scene

the footprints in the sand,

the only proof that I was here
