The Beast of the Deep
Gentle waves lapping at my feet,
Water glimmering beneath the sun.
All is so placid and serene,
No one would know about the monster that lies beneath.
Suddenly the sky turns black,
The water begins to boil hot.
It burns my skin as I try to run,
A cackle is heard within the noise.
A giant hand flies out and grabs for me,
It catches my feet and I fall.
I dig my nails into the sand,
Only to leave a trail of fear and despair.
It drags me under in its torrent,
I try to scream but nothing leaves my throat.
The water gets hotter and hotter,
The sky gets darker and darker.
I reach up trying to get to the surface,
I need to breathe!
Blood pounding in my head,
I can't think, too much is happening.
My feet become intertwined with the beast of the deep,
I scramble trying to break free.
My lungs are burning and my body hurts,
My eyes sting as the liquid becomes acidic.
I kick furiously trying to flee,
Reaching up to the surface I cry.
Then all becomes calm,
The water begins to cool.
The sky fades into a light gray,
The water feels comfortable.
The beast no longer has me in its trap,
I swim up to the surface at last.
My eyes fly open and I look around,
I'm not outside anymore.
I see the sink and shower curtain and realize,
It was all a nightmare.
I lean back against the tiled wall,
I sigh and close my eyes.
I take a breath and hold it,
As I sink below the bath water again.
