Water in My Lungs

I lay in the sand

As the sea envelops me

It strokes my skin

With its silken touch

Slimy tentacles

Wrap around my leg

They threaten to pull me

To the depths where they grew

The waves crash

And steal my breath

I stare at the foam

As I take it into my lungs

I feel strong arms

Lift me from my tomb

But the water is too deep

And I'm already gone
