The pain,
Oh god the pain
It ricochetted though me like a rubber band,
and hit like a brick.
My head throbbed,
And so did my soul
My vision was tinted red,
Not from anger,
From blood.
The room felt suffocating,
And so did my mind.
I couldn't breathe,
The hands around my throat made it impossible,
They squeezed so hard,
The ocean itself leaked from my eyes.
The ocean didn't stop,
And started to fill the white expanse of tile.
It reached my knees and caused me to stumble,
Then my waist, which made it impossible to walk.
Up to my neck,
And the pressure made my body weak
My vision started to fade as it closed over my mouth,
The salt water stung arms and legs,
When it reaches my eyes,
With a final thought.
I realized,
No one cared enough to save me.
