Drown

Sinking, lost, into the dark blue
Unknown abyss rises, without a clue
Panic rising, heart is pounding
Terror reigning, no sounding

Gasping, choking, lungs burn to ashes
Waves crash down, throat closes in dashes
Bathed in green despair, sinking blind
No longer here, a watery shrine

Fading slow, I let it all go
A final farewell, as my life ebbs low
Drowning feeling, a last release
In the sea, is where I rest in peace
