Strangled

Strangled, standing in shallow water

Sheep, in the wolves den

Suddenly the light fades

Sickening silence erodes the air

Strange haze rises upwards

Suffocates the life from my

SOUL

 

Struggle, downward I spiral

Suddenly all is dark

Stopping the fall I must try

Slowly, it seems in motion

Steps taken are laboured and wrong

Silently I disappear into darkness as

SLAVE

 

Stranded, alone cold and scared

Silence, invading, unwanted

Senses, numb to nature

Slender tentacles rub legs

Salty air drifts around me

Seizing my lungs in grip like vice

SILENCE
