IN THE DEEP

Deep in this cave,

I am stuck.

Nothing to do,

but hope and wait

for the sun's rays

to creep farther in.

Maybe I'll get a touch...

just a touch of wawrmth

so it will be

more

than just an idea.

Deep in these waters,

dark with rage,

and cold with loniness,

there is a multitude

of horrors that lie beneath

the surface.

Thrashing and flailing about,

I am struggling...desperate

to get to the surface

and stay afloat.

But the waves,

one after another

wipe me out.

I am overcome.

Deep in the crevices

of my mind,

so expansive,

I'm unaware of all 

its twists and turns.

It suffocates me.

It steals my breath

and steels my heart.

Everything continuously shifting

only to further confuse

the maze

of my thoughts.

I can't grab onto anything,

I evade even myself.

I can't touch anything,

the darkness is empty.

Choking,

Hiding,

Drowning,

Lost...

in the Deep.
