The excruciating
Helplessness
Comes from reaching
With ones fingers
Outstretched
Feeling as if
My prints
Will tear
Flee with the waves
As if the sound
Pummeling my ears
Is silence
And so very
Torturous
The claw
Markings
Of a forced slumber
Claiming my temples
Gouging my eyes
Into clenched
Fists
Lost breaths
With bubbles
Empty screams
Indefinite tears
The fright
Is excruciating
The fight is overwhelming
The loss
Takes everything
Till I'm no longer
A beating heart
But a figure
Floating
With water
Below me
Watching
Without
A body
Breathing in
Tides
Surrounding me
Drowning
In my own sea
Without eyes
It's excruciating
