• Fighting for survival.
    Crying out loud.
    Holding your hand as I drown.
    I'm going down with a smile.

    Water fills my lungs.
    Burning raw my last breath goes.
    I look into your eyes.
    And my beating heart sung:

    "Don't cry- Let go. Save yourself before me.
    I've always loved you.
    Stay here. For them. For me.
    Release me now.
    Let go of my hand.
    Breathe. "

    Struggling stops,
    I've succumbed to the pain.
    Burning stops and numbness settles.
    You let go.
    you actually let go.
    Currents carry me under to my riverbed coffin.
