| 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 |
