there's a faint light that grows
paler..fading..
don't go, light
stay with me
the cold strangles my breath
numbing my mind
there is little time
to explain
thereis little time
to find
redemption for the mistakes i made
the water is thick with salt
the mysterious shadows keep their distance
these are the same shadows that will
bite at my decaying body
to see if i'm edible
when my body comes to rest
in the sandy bottom
hopefully they'll wait till then
my body becomes one with the watery abyss
the light is far gone
the images are rejected
by my site
as black-outs become ordinary
and no one remembers the body
at the bottom
another victim of drowning
