Dark beneath the Moon
I gaze to the moon;
the spotlight in the dark night
unknowing of my plight.
I’m stuck sinking in water
made of liquefied misery
and reeking of rancor.
The taint stings my eyes,
veiling vision from all sides.
The moon casts its light
on the surface of the water,
but it’s blockaded by the blight
when it’s this far under.
I cannot move my body.
The choking on my own despair
is depleting me of precious air.
I long to see the moon again,
the stars once more, and the sky
with its vastness one last time
before I cross the borderline.
As I try to deny my passage
into the point of no return,
my body knots further
and my soul procee
