Poetry: Beneath The Reef
a dark poetry
within the shallows of the water
smothered by reefs, afloat
black swirls of shadows
gurgling water starts to choke
“let me go, I can't breathe
hands hold me back, they push me down”
velvet crimson mixes,
with the dense dusky liquid
motionless limbs twitch
as she she was about to reach-
“was it fun watching me?
the way I splashed, fought, and drowned?”
deeper from the surface
muddier it grows
stuck to rock bottom
tied by a rope
“did u hear my screams?
the way your name was all I could shout?”
bubbles swallow the last words
no one can here within the shadows
for darkness is greedy it provokes
calls everything his yet doesn't say so
