dead calm 
 
maybe it's already too late 
the sea is calm 
dead calm 
silence, except from a small whisper 
she said she wanted to swim 
she jumped in 
into the cold water 
she disappeared 
 
i drank too much 
fell asleep in the sand 
forgot about her 
 
a policeman woke me up 
told me she was dead 
drowned
