I feel trapped down here
Kept apart from my friends
we were running
Laughing, free as youth is

Hair caught in my mouth
Fumbling
Stumbling
Tumbling

Cassie, you shriek
As well you might
When I disappear
Into the waters
Night

Only moments ago it seemed.
Yet now I watch you go
Grown up, you lay down flowers
For Cassie in the undertow
