18- drowning

submerged underwater,
my breath is getting thinner
and my pale body is floating
in the inky, blue waters
like i'm in an intoxicating dream
of being lost at space
in the middle of a galaxy collision,
and all i can do is wait hopelessly,
with my jaw slacked open
while the pressure fills my heart
and my eyes fluttering numbly
at the single ray of light
screaming for me to wake up
and hold on.
