The Taking.

Unto the depths,unto the deep,

Taking me further till I'm asleep.

Slumbering gladness turns into madness,

This is not where I want to be.

Swirling & twirling, voices converging,

The deepening darkness, pervading with fastness.

A creeping coldness is merging with me,

This is not where I want to be.

Pulling me down, taking me under,

Fighting the feeling that it is stealing.

Strength is fading and I am hating.

This is not where I want to be.

Close to the end, life will not lend,

The breath that I desperately need.

This is not what I thought and not what was taught.

This is not where I want to be.
