Drown

--

Stuck between two rocks,

you can’t breathe, you are drowning.

Your family cries.

-

The lifeguard is gone,

shot in the neck by an odd

man who hates us all.

-

Thankfully only

you and he die today, but

what of tomorrow?

-

In oblivion,

you walk alone, far ahead

of other lost souls.

-

Seaweed clings to you,

a souvenir of your death.

You want to rip it.

-

You wanted much more.

Life had ended quickly, but

wasn’t it enough?

-

Take one last breath, now,

before you are forever

lost to the reaper.
