A Fish Out of Water

I I watch as you lay like a fish with no water. Scales open and close with fury and violence Yet, nothing in return "Like so is life", you say Still gasping; Still searching Eternal search, yet infinitely barren Always, yielding nothing in return. You continue, though you grow tired. You are relentless, yet hopeless; Dreaming of peace, always. A hint now barely seen to a naked eye. You suffocate and you smother. Certain, this infinite search steals your very air. You gasp as you pray, and yet nothing in return. Only destruction awaits you. Your destruction; self destruction Though you are certain the search steals your very air, you search on. You fear suffocation, yet, you know it to be your fate; Inevitable it is. You gasp as you pray and yet nothing comes Your final cry of sadness One final search; Only to find nothing. You know this madness. For we are of too likeness.
