Little Mermaid

I float
dance along
the ocean floor
 
I glide
move along
my aquatic hell
 
I gasp
float along
as I try to inhale
 
My lungs fill
I struggle
I flail 
 
The light dims
I sink down
deeper
 
Into the cold
unforgiving
 
grave
of
the
sea
 
Into the deep
where little fishies
will gnaw and nibble 
at me
