Drowning
Drifting into the darkest of deep waters
A peaceful place away from man
Where a slight pressure cold as ice
Pulls me further into its beautiful opacity
My breath has stolen away to the surface
As a cool liquid rushes to replace it in my lungs
I open my eyes to see the calm quiver above
The light trying helplessly to find me
But the crystal clear fluid begs to differ
And as empty as my heart is
I feel it's better if I did not leave
Even if I truly wanted to
I can't pull myself to resist
The hypnotic falling motion
That kept me enchanted in it's gentle caress
I held out a hand to touch the mercury sky
But it had grown so far away
Realizing that hope had left me alone
And I let my eyes close to the shadows again
Sinking deeper and deeper
As conscience fades away...
