Sinking, Drowning, Grasping

As I am sinking,

as I slowly drown,

I am grasping,

making no sound,

suffocating as I go under,

things are going dark

will there come a saviour

to rescue me

and save the day

It's gone beyond

me saving myself

I tried so hard but floundered

and now I need some help

or it's all over

and all good things

will come to an end.

My immediate thought was, "All good things come to a new beginning." I like dramatic verse; so now you are teaching me. Thank you.
