S.O.S.

I never wanted to put this message in a bottle,

So we can leave this conversation on the beach,

And let the waves carry our words out to sea,

In hopes that they reach the siren,

I told you that if I let you in,

Please don’t let me down.

But here we are,

Both about to drown.

Until the siren shipwrecks a few more souls,

To commiserate in our plight,

Inescapable circumstances.
