Deadly Thoughts
(Push and Pull, Part 2)





When troubled times come crowd out the room
To bury souls in dark thoughts of gloom
Depression drawing deep
Seeks out a path to keep
The quiet solace of ocean's tomb

How easy to walk into the sea
To begin the end of what was me
To take that gasping breath
Embracing soggy death
And let those problems of bad times - flee

But flee to what? Hell's hot eager fires?
From cooling waters to burning pyres?
And what is left behind?
To haunt my children's minds
These thoughts were those that changed my desires
