Kursk
The voices are silent echoes. This is the hardest part.
The waters up to our ankles with no sign of letting up.
But Im still climbing out.
I always meant to tell you that I never meant you harm in this life.
Ill have to wait until the next to make things right.
Im tapping s.o.s. codes on the wall, but this is as far as it goes.
Im writing my regret notes from the heart.
I never loved you, you know.
Because Im riding a lie and Im writing a lie.
I took a chance and were paying for the lie.
Im writing "I know the faults all mine", but please stay strong.
If they remember me,
will they forget the meaning of why I came so far to drown?
Im forgetting it myself.
I find Im staring at these rusty bolts this hatch was attached to.
My eyes are glued. This coffin moves, angled down.
The skeletal walls are brittle. The salt corrodes it off.
Your spent oxygen fogs the metal.
Youre taking greedy breaths from us but I forgive you all.
