The Well

Falling deeper in the well No rope long enough to catch me No key strong enough to unlatch me No light to help me see Breathing slower as I swallow Too much water pulls me under Too much lightning, too much thunder No hands to set me free Come help me climb, I'm sure to fall Without a step or ladder My swollen fingers getting fatter My ankles bent and sharp I'm falling deeper in the well The blackness makes me lighter Close my eyes; colors get brighter As I sink into the Dark.
