Sea swallow me whole, (because you already used "sea swallow me"... it might be nice to change this line, since the first lines in the other stanzas are all different for different affect)
thrash me against the rocks
and cut my skin.
Drag me down and consume my lungs
with your salty waters.

Sea hold me,
sting my eyes and wipe them clean
cradle and caress me before you let go 

Sea,
draw out the chill in my bones,
gouge out my gut 
and rip me in half if you must

Sea let go
you can't hold me so
I can't warm your vast waters
you only yell
and I can only listen

Sea swallow me,
drown me, 
take me down. (one moment you say to swallow you and drown you etc... and in the next you want it to let you go?? I think I understand what you are going for there, but I think it could maybe be worded a bit differently for better affect.... it feels too contradictory to me.)

Let me go.
I really love this poem a lot! I actually love the repetitiveness at the beginning of each stanza, and also love the dark, almost haunting quality of it. definitely the type of poetry I am drawn to. I think this poem might benefit from a title to help some of the issues I had with the last 2 stanzas and might clear up the confusion around what the poem is about.
