Water running down walls

It drips slowly  
at first,  
but then, the  water rushes in  
trying to absolve me of other peoples sins  
demons shroud over me and watch from afar  
the water is clear, yet it feels bizarre  
cloaked in a sea of darkness, a dream I once had steps in  
I start remembering everything I ever did  
sadness stares with unforgiving eyes  
fate and destiny shake there head at my demise  
hope, well she was never really there at all  
karma, I can still hear her call  
downward spirals like  staircases to hell  
at last the water begins to swell  
I no longer hold my breath, for that would be a waste of time  
things floating past that were once mine  
everything familiar, but also strange  
could this be my mind? or is reality this deranged?  
sinking to the bottom once again  
here I am drowning for other peoples sins
