![]() Drowning In BetrayalA Poem by Liamesq
Breathe in sharply when you think of me
Remember my drowning eyes through the sinking car door Your useless arms flailing Trying to save me, sometimes I question whether or not you were trying hard enough My hands reaching out for nobody to catch As more water fills this tight box Acclimatising to the bitter freezing nature of it As it runs up my neck in front of you And you can see the iciness of it through my fatigued eyes The purity of innocence in the mind of a dying young boy Is exactly what you envisage Now, daily, but at the time in its original essence It stains your memory and so it should You let me die, allowed death to take me Laughed as I inhaled my last You gave up, and you know it Because you feel it every day You were too scared to help me So I hope the same thing happens to you I know it will because that which goes down, comes back up to drag you along with it Suffer the same as I did Feel everything go black, throat swell up, water invades you, searching every piece of your body there to fill Whilst your audience think it all a mere play Explain to yourself how you now feel Does 'guilty' pop up ? Yes I thought so and so you should be I won't say otherwise You had the chance, didn't take it Now you have to live with that for the rest of your life Because you didn't let me have mine © 2012 Liamesq |
