I open my eyes,
all I see is darkness;
a black abyss that
swallows me whole.
I am falling, fast;
I reach out my hands
to grab onto something,
but only grasp the thin air.
Suddenly, I land in a body
of black water.
Choking, I frantically try to
swim to the top.
But I can't see;
the water is black.
My lungs start to burn with fire,
still I cannot surface.
Then, time itself slows;
I reach my arms out;
one last try.
Suspended in the black water,
my body gets heavy, head
pounding, lungs growing hotter.
I cry my last plead for mercy-
But it is lost,
in the watery depths of my grave,
I am lost forever;
no longer can I save.
