Message in the Bottle

A Bottle floats along the ocean,
Delivering horrors and woe;
A faded label,
Ripped and torn,
Choked a baby sea turtle,
Who saw the demons within;
Sank to the bottom,
Hit a rock,
Its contents popped,
And poisoned quite a few octopi,
Whose arms could reach inside and feel the Monsters of the Bottle;
They went the same way that the Bottle's owner did,
Trying to drown out the demons that persist,
And forget the creature that ran from his blood;
And as the paper melted,
With dripping ink,
She walked the lowest sea,
A Monster of the deep,
And watched the sun above,
Drowned beneath the waves,
Wishing to feel the sun again,
The deadly message in the Bottle floats along the ocean floor.
