No One Is Coming

In the center of the ocean
Light bending the water
Black

Swim up, swim down,
Swim in any infinite direction
Find only water and darkness

After punching the buttons out
We found the cable unplugged and clipped
No one is coming

Trying to find the crescendo
Never looked before

I can’t hear the rise and fall anymore

Not even the waves at this depth
I’m just looking for
A line and a hook

Float a lil this way
Float a lil that way
Suspended in wait
