Deep Water
by
Little Nikita
Knew something was wrong,
Could see it in your eyes,
In more trouble than I knew
Was nothing I could do
Wanted to run and hide,
All I could do was scream inside,
To the beach we all went,
Nice family day out
Took me into the water,
Waded with me right out,
Should have made some excuse,
To not go with you
I had no idea,
What you were going to do
Vice like grip on my arm,
Forcing me into deep water,
Now I knew,
You had hold,
Water was so cold,
Was nothing I could do.
Powerful rip tides,
Pulling under my feet
One big shove,
Pushed me in real deep
Struggled and thrashed
Just to stay alive
Screamed desperately to God,
Please help me survive
Unable to swim,
Body sinks deeper and deeper down
Breathing in water,
Choking
Beginning to drown
Sinking deeper,
Darkness all I could see,
Black silence,
Gentle peace,
Death was with me.
Cradled in warm, strong arms,
Safe from anymore harm
