Step back. Fall back.
You're getting in way too deep.
And it's only a matter of time
before you find that you will only sink.
An anchor on your heart weighing you down, pulling you into
the lowest depths possible. You find yourself
being swept under by the current and no matter
how hard you try to swim to the surface, you find
the anchor will not budge. You can only hold your breath
for so long before your lungs begin to flood with water.
And you realize you've been dead all along. You've died so
many times you have no recollection to stop you from making
the same mistake for the millionth time. But this will be your
last chance. There are no more tries after this. The anchor you hold
now is the one to seal your death. So, at the bottom of the ocean, way
deep in the Atlantic, you let the water have its hold.

Where forever you will float
among the corpses of you.
(Note: not really poetry but I'm not sure what it is. It stands alone for now as something as a work of a mixture of a long week, lack of sleep, and the fact that I believe I'm becoming too close to people again)
