Pool

Within the depths
Of my final breath
I sink from the surface
I have nothing left
I’m suffocating under the silent tide
I try but no air can get inside

Amongst the pain
Of the water’s force
I collapse from the pressure
With no remorse
I suffocated under the silent tide
Your laughing face, as I died

This is awesome. Very descriptive poem and a very tangible illustration of anguish.
