Dark Waters

I lay me down in the water's dark, cold filling up my lungs...
The abyss of death has come to claim my fragile soul and I can't fight it's claws...
My young life I breath no more, black are my lips, skin cold and blue, my heart no longer beats red blood into my veins...
They pull me out, yet I watch the panic, they scream my name, yet I can not speak...
Push air, pound against my chest, shake me like a doll, smack my cheeks, turn me over nothing makes the cold run away...
I see the man in white, he's calling my name, I see his smile but I see them in the insanity...
Questions of what to do I am only a child?
They shed tears but why not before, say I love you, but I never knew...
I fell into this trap I did not see, it looked like fun to me!
The man in white is nice and warm, holds my little hand, keeps me from fear of the dragon beside me...
But I wonder if the dark place will take them too...
Lights flash I'm going fast, cold again I do not understand...
Convulse with pain, packed in ice and high above the tree's...
Choking I can not breath, alone but people all around, echoes of thumping screaming in my ears...
I can't move,I feel numb and tired, needles pushing under my skin and the dragon waits to finish me off like a treat...
Man in blue makes my body jump, I burn from inside my heart but it pumped, one..two...stop..............code blue I hear him say, another burn and my chest heaves like a mountain...
Pump, pump...I feel my blood move again, will I survive? The dragon hisses not this time, claws latching onto on skin; I feel it ripping me open again...
A final burn and I'm back inside, a cold body that's paralyzed, coma induced to still my brain... I think aloud hoping someone can hear me, but no reply! Pushed in and out of machines that look like giants, swallows me up with dark loudness... I am alone again and pain is pressing my head like a car in a crusher...
Sleep never comes but yet they say, I Dont see or hear, I'm just a shell...
Please Dont let me stay in this tormented place...
Alone I am still in the dark water!!
