Abyss
I feel the walls closing in
I want out but the exit’s closed
Drowning now
The water keeps rising
To breathe would mean to take a mouth full of water
God how did this happen?
Please let me out
Lungs screaming for air
There’s none left
Vision going black
I feel my body sinker lower and deeper into the abyss
Sharp pain around my wrist
Gasping, gasping for air
A chance to be free
The driftwood slowly sinking
What do I do?
I can’t go back
I can’t lose my rescuer
The water starts pulling me down
Please let there be a way out
A few moments bliss in the arms of my rescuer
Before I sink back into the abyss
