Bitter Water

We knew, yet we relied.
They said they were ready, they lied.
We watched everything go through the streams.
I've seen my dad, he never surfaced from the beams.

Through the strong winds at night.
Without light, I'm a blind man holding my neck so tight.
Oh how horrible this night is.
Like hearing myself fall down through the abyss.

How are you, my dearest reader?
I hope you're fine in this cold weather.
For beside me lies the cold body of my brother.
I hope you sleep tight with a warm heater.

In this cursed calamity that we've faced,
Death isn't actually a horrible case.
Trying to live the aftermath, how to solve this maze.
I am confused, is it still worth living after these days?

Watch, and share as we need every help.
Each second, people are missing from the water's depths.
We are waiting above the waters.
Please come before we live under the dark sea.
