...need you like water in my lungs...

Deep blue. Exhausting. My eyes to the sky and all I feel is the heavy water pushing me down. The horizon has disappeared, forcing the sea and air to melt into one. Helplessness as the light fades away and all that's left is the salt in my lungs. Calming blues change into sheets of midnight, echoing the impeding doom. Knowing there is no escape, fully realizing these last moments of life, screams fill my head but my throat is empty. The fight that is left begins to retreat, realizing the ultimate defeat...one last push...there is hope! What was once an onyx abyss is turning back into the crystal blue of relief. Just knowing life is seconds away, hope has overcome the murky waters. Oxygen fills my lungs, a fire they haven't felt in what feels like eternity. Inhaling faster and faster, sucking up the entire Earth's oxygen supply. Now I'm floating, drifting, peaceful. Exhausting. Deep blue.
