The Depth (Inspired By Cesar Cantu)
.
how far down...
for once too far
and light growing
........(*no closer*)........
-panic sets into brains-
grasping at throats to sustain
...the thought of air
seeping from lungs
(like a pin hole in a balloon)
greenish blue liquid
[[[[[[crushing]]]]]]
[[[[[pushing]]]]]

eyes gouging themselves out
POPPING
from the skull in
.......terror....... @.@ life
two inches from being stolen
and yet the sun
and yet the sun
and yet the sun (O)
plays tricks
on the fragility of minds
thinking that we
are so
so very
very
far
......away
when the sweetness of polluted air
is just
one
touch away
the water {{{{{rippels}}}}}
