in a sea of blackness
Spinning....swirling....
slowly being drug down
to the deepest depths

Blackness
has filled my lungs
Expanding...exploding...
over filled bronchi turned
into tubes of death

Ringing
has been resounding in my ears
Screaming...Bursting
Pressure hard against membranes
with each breath of black, I take


Mourning
a heart that's died
Crying...Questioning
Brain functional and I have but one thought
Leave only black flowers...at the wake

Drowning
in a sea of blackness
Spinning....swirling....
slowly being drug down
to the deepest depths

Blackness
has filled my lungs
Expanding...exploding...
over filled bronchi turned
into tubes of death

Ringing
has been resounding in my ears
Screaming...Bursting
Pressure hard against membranes
with each breath of black, I take


Mourning
a heart that's died
Crying...Questioning
Brain functional and I have but one thought
Leave only black flowers...at the wake
