He teased
Scared to breathe
Completely ruined her
He humiliated
Scared to express
Thoughts of regrets
He pulls her down
Afraid of being left behind
Full of fear
Water trinkets down the double almond shapes
That she's come to hate because of him
Down the face of
To whom they would say beauty
To her, a face of terror
One that feels no compassion
Creating a body of ocean
For someone who can't swim
Gasps for air
Transparent yells for help
Not a sound was let out
Her flailing arms have portrayed fear
Bystanders sit and stare
They witness
They don't hear a plea for help
They remain silent
She starts to sink
Lower and out of sight
She asks,
Why hasn't anyone helped me?
Did they not hear my cries?
Cries for all she knew were crystal clear
Given up
She has sunken
Bystanders sit and stare
But still remain silent. - D.K.
