The Deep End (Free verse) by drnick
Reluctantly, I followed you in
I watched as the water rose above
Losing sight of things most common
Hesitant, as my head lay upon the surface
You pull me under and I struggle
Desperately grabbing at the air, water
Anything that can take me back
The soft light glimmers as a star
Until it succumbs to a similar fate
Like everything else I once knew
I'm lost down here, but familiar
Is your guiding hand
Calming me, easing my resistance
Telling me it is alright
And as I loose strength and consciousness
All I know
Is that this is surely the end
Of who I was.
