Ever Sinking

I fight to stay above the water

But the more I fight

The further I descend

Body becoming dense

It becomes so much to carry

Though I keep fighting

With my last breath

I reach my hand up

Up to the sun

That is shining

Above the water

The light that is so close

But out of my reach

I clutch my heart

As my vision becomes fuzzy

Setting from the outside in

Taking away all remnants

Of the light from my mind

Until I close my eyes

And let the water

Sink into my lunges

Consuming my life

Dragging me away

To a place unreachable

By any living man

Hair floating around

And covering my face

Hand still at my heart

And the other reaching for the light

Though my body drifts

Farther away from the light

And farther into the dark
