Before He Kissed Me

In the deep underwater I am sinking
Water, H2O, soaking my pores
Lungs filling with fluid, impairing
Struggling beneath the surface for oxygen
I cannot, for my life swim to save myself
Plunging beyond the surface into an aqueous tomb
Submerged I spiral down to the darkest fathom
Screams are merely bubbles from my lips
Skin and organs swell from saturation
Bursting vessels in my body
Saturated, disfigured and swollen
Caught by the current there is no escaping
Lodged under a log entangled in seaweed
Sand encrusts every orifice
Covered with silt in an unmarked watery grave
Settling upon the bottom I lay upon the sand
Fish gnaw away at my lips
Crustaceans dine upon my swollen flesh
Within this underwater world
Surrounding me, smothering thee
I suffocate, ocean my fate
Beneath each wave, I've found my grave
A sodden corpse, waterlogged
