Jake

I never thought I'd leave this place

I didn't think a trail would follow

But footsteps trace my every move,

A hollow path of paces skewed

It aches me through this dirty wreck

I kick up dust along my trek

The dust uplifted speck by speck

Won't settle near, but on my neck

For now I carry onward still

Hoping soon to end this hill

A patch of reason on my side

Tells me soon come crashing tides

The winding road I longed to see

Never came and will never be

The breath of life I hoped to share

Never filled my lungs with air

And so this path comes to an end,

But where I stop is no dead-end

I never thought my trail would reach

But now it brings me to the beach

Too Deep To Drown
