::::DROWNING::::

Can't you see I'm going under?
Sinking like a concrete block
Crying out, only to be left unheard
Have you left me?
Should I even ask?
The pressure building up
My chest begins to compress
Lungs collapsing
Can't breathe
Are you going to save me?
Or let me fall to my death
On the black Ocean floor?
I hear your voice
Calling out my name
Is it real?
Or am I dying?
You get closer,
I can feel your arms around me
I feel the pressure start to lift
Slowly you bring me from the depths
You didn't leave me
You came to my rescue
I'm out of the watery depths now
My lungs burning for oxygen
Stable enough to breathe on my own
You raise me to my feet
Only, this time, you pick me up and carry me
