Interitum

This is dedicated to a dear friend of mine who I love and miss very much

Pained, I lay on the icy carpet of the sea bed 

My feet, outstretched, are two lumps of lead

My vision clouds with blotches of black

My jaw grows heavy, it falls open and slack

My arms lie immobile and frozen by my side

And behind thick lashes, my eyes, they hide 

My heart is struggling, the beats gradually slow

And the blood in my veins, it's failing to flow 

My cheeks, once rosy, now hold no colour

And my eyes, once lively and green, are now greyer and duller 

My ears hear nothing, they're so cold and numb

And my rapid pulse thuds through them like a pounding drum 

My lungs, they fill with the bitter, salty water

And my brain, well, I can already feel it falter 

I wait, and I wait for a rescue to arrive

But with each passing second, I feel much less alive

My mind, it fills with thoughts of you

Everything you'd say, everything you'd do

And it dawns on me, that this is my end

So I'll say goodbye, and I love you my friend

I know your thoughts are with me, they resound through my head

But my dear, I hate to tell you, I'm already dead
