Splash

Splash

Swimming into the trap

It started out as a game

But their darkness

Could not be tamed

"Play with us"

They say

Swim deep

To the lakes dark depths

He swam forward

Floating over the abyss

His father had pulled the switch

"What goes around comes around

And karma's a bitch"

The boy began to feel

Coldness wrap around his legs

Pulling him down

The weight of ten men

His lungs burned

His stomach churned

Being pulled to the bottom of the lake

Was not a game

He wanted to play

They laughed for they had once

Felt the same way

Memories were on the surface

Secrets were spilling out

This is a time

The son pays for the fathers sins

For these lost souls want revenge

He squirmed and he fought

Causing the grip

To tighten on the spot

His lips began to turn blue

As his strength drained away

But they were not ashamed

For they had once felt

The same pain

They saw something beautiful

At last

The pink of the coral

The bubbles of their lasts breaths

As they and he

Drifted into nothingness

Splash

Splash

They have closed the trap

The man will have to face

His past

Bringing them peace at last
