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.
