i watch


i watch as you

fall away from me

i watch

as your arms fill with casums

where flesh used to be

i watch

as you begin to drown in your own thoughts

the water blinding you

preventing you from seeing my outstreched hand

and i watch

with a feeling of horror

as you sink

farther

and

farther

and

farther

from me

i watch

bubbles exit your gaping mouth

and i dread the day

when the bubbles stop
