he was swallowed deep
into the pit of the blues
lifeless as it seems
enfeebled just as the beams
that reach his body
buried in depth of the sea.
and no, it's more than
just a li'l lump on the throat
it's an endless wave
of despair and self-loathing
he has put himself
to sleep, oh, tragic demise
unanswered calls to the skies.
