one step and then im falling 

falling, sinking

my arms float above my head

as if grasping for the sky 

but the sky does not exit here 

only a cold, blue, unknown world 

 

im falling 

my legs kick and twitch 

as if running towards air

but air does not exist here

 

my lungs scream 

crying, begging

begging to fill with sweet oxygen 

convulsing. twitching.

about to fade away.

open your mouth 

let the chilling water 

soothe the fire in your lungs. 

 

let the dark liquid fill you up 

and drag you down further

let yourself hit the bottom

as you completley fade away

 

gone

gone forever

lost to the world

you are no more


The author's comments:

I've always been fascinated with the idea of drowning, of sinking further and further away from the world, merging with the unknown, of resting in water forever.

The urge to not let the water in is so strong that you dont let it in until right before you pass out. your lungs convulse and scream for air but your body just wont let the water in until your final moments
