Stuck Below

I'm apprehended it seems
Why doesn't my seamstress pull my strings
It's as if I'm only seen as a thing
I've not even got a ring
My sense of fidelity isn't keen
To my world belongs Poseidon
But it must seem that I have to ride on
The backs of others to stay afloat
I can't get up something must be wrong
Everyone rises above me none looking back
Maybe they don't realize no one is helping me
I can't help myself so I must stay
The empty and cold not even a sound to hear
Will I be overcome with fear?

There's no chance so what's the matter
It's as if I was a dust spot in a bowl of batter
There's nothing important about me
The blue had entangled me too tightly to free
I can't go on like this
I'll just take off my mask
So that I may peer through the black mist
I try once more reaching for a hand
A glimmer of surprise and hope
Left to shatter at an empty attempt

I close my eyes and accept the cruel temptress
She seduced me well
I want to stay here forever
It's calmer then I realized
This is a good end to a story with no meaning
That's true to say the least
Let me drown darling

What's this feeling?
Regret?
No
It's joy
I'm weak
Oh so very weak
Time to go to sleep
