adrift

it's dark and my soul is set adrift
shifting with the currents
waves splashing over me
the salty water burns in my gashes
blood tainting the sea

the darkness grows deeper as i'm
pulled under with all it's force
my screams can't be heard
as the water fills my breathless lungs

when i reach the surface
i can't help but cough up foamy residue
my lungs a burning fire that
can't be extinguished

i look around for any sign of help
but it's just me and my soon
to be drowning body
