|
In the deep underwater |
|
I am sinking, |
|
Water, H2O, soaking my pores, |
|
Lungs filling with fluid, impairing, |
|
Struggling beneath the surface for oxygen, |
|
I cannot, for my life swim to save myself, |
|
Plunging beyond the surface into an aqueous tomb, |
|
Submerged |
|
I spiral down to the darkest fathom, |
|
Screams are merely bubbles from my lips, |
|
Skin and organs swell from saturation, |
|
Bursting vessels in my body, |
|
Saturated, disfigured and swollen, |
|
Caught by the current there is no escaping, |
|
Lodged under a log entangled in seaweed, |
|
Sand encrusts every orifice, |
|
Covered with silt in an unmarked watery grave, |
|
Settling upon the bottom |
|
I lay upon the sand, |
|
Fish gnaw away at my lips, |
|
Crustaceans dine upon my swollen flesh, |
|
Within this underwater world, |
|
Surrounding me, smothering thee, |
|
I suffocate, ocean my fate, |
|
Beneath each wave, |
|
I've found my grave, |
|
A sodden corpse, waterlogged. |
