No Escape

There's only water, no escape, and I'm surrounded by it all.
It rises slowly, but I know my mind is playing tricks on me.
It moves faster, slowly covering my frozen feet.
My body trembles slightly; the water is colder than I anticipated.

I look up and around, but I know there's no point.
This will be my end and I can't be saved; here in
this dark, dingy room; here in this chamber they
cased me away in; here in a place unknown.

But I suppose I deserve it all it all and that is why I'm here; in a
flooding prison where my light will vanish. I won't
even deny it; what I did was wrong. He wouldn't stop screaming and
I didn't know how to... make him stop.

Then I was stabbing my son over and over
again with a knife until...there was silence.
