Based on true events: in loving memory
My mind has fallen through, I know not what I write,
death is somthing you cannot fight.
Water overhead is glistening in the day,
the water underneath whisks me away.
I try to fight but the currents stronger,
I wont be able to hold my breath much longer.
As it turns out I don't need to; I knock me head,
I see stars and darkness--I'm all but dead.
I can't escape for I'm trapped in the locker,
I'll never again see sky--my world is black water.
My family will morn me when I drown,
6ft under is nothing--I'm already 20ft down.
My blood runs cold yet my lungs burn,
all things die--now its my turn.
Then I'm not drowning but looking at my body,
it's now an empty shell--a lifeless copy.
My body washes up on a bank--I cannot return.
There's a hand on my shoulder--soft, yet stern.
I no longer care about this world at my core,
it fades away like fiction or lore.
My family morns--I know not why,
for I am fine and will never die.
And now I come back to myself--crying,
for I am not the one who is dying.
I sit here safe from what I have said,
and cry bitter tears for loved ones dead.
...RIP...
Black Water
