Begin with- "I'm fine, I think as I look out onto the water."

End with- "I'm drowning."

I'm fine, I think as I look out onto the water. The waves rippling back and forth, the moon reflecting as if it was looking into a mirror. His friends, the stars are watching down on me.

I'm fine, I think as I walk into the water. Bit by bit it consumes me, I'm waist deep, my clothes cling to me like a child that clings to its mother.

I'm fine, I think. I'm floating now, the coldness consuming me. The waves, what once was gentle pushes and pulls me in.

"I'm fine, I think." This time into the wind I whisper it.

I'm fine, I think. Staring back at the moon's friends, I begin to think how selfish it's surronded by thousands and the moon still wants more. He took what is mines without warning.

I'm fine, I think. I close my eyes as I inhale, the cold air fills my lungs and as I exhale the little warmth I had left leaves and with it is grief.
