I claw at my skin                                                                                                  
and the black leaks out                                                                        
and I watch it snake                                                        
down from my throat                                  
and over my chest                    
until the streams  
                eventually pool
                       at my feet

                                My mind cries
         out echoing
between my ears
until it spills                      
out through my eyes                    

I am in an ocean                          
  dark and grey                

The black      
of my heart                
swirling around                      
the salt                                                
from my eyes                                                    
I can't escape                                                                    
the current I've                                                                                
trapped myself in                                                                                    

And I drown
