Drowning
Fire smoldering in my lungs
as I fight to find my words,
the prediction of my own death.
My teeth long to be fangs begging
to steal away a moment
of your life, your breath, your warmth.
Desperation oozes through my veins
as I try to find the surface.
The water strangles me
as it glistens from the light
kissing its somber face with ripples,
but I am cold to its beauty.
Stings of salt into an open wound
invade my searching eyes.
Is there no escape, no means
to save this pathetic life?
Surrender, bittersweet surrender.
Peace followed by darkness.
