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
