Waiting to be Saved

The ground gave way beneath me.

Soon I was out of sight.

As I fell beneath the rolling sea,

the darkness enveloped me.

Now covered in a blanket of shivering sorrow,

silent tears came from my eyes,

mixing with the salty water above me.

I fell unmoving, frozen,

as my breath slowly left me,

suffocating just below the surface.

I waited to be saved,

but I knew, no one would ever come.
