Death I Had Earned

by CodyHaag

When I fell into your cave, Your stalagmites pierced me; I became impossible to save, The rock much too deep. The sun did not shine there, People did not see me hurt. They did not see the blood, How the rock made it spurt. Some tried to pull me out, But they all failed upon trying. My strangled cry became a death shout, For I was slowly dying. My body, pulled from the deep cave, Remained lifeless in your arms; I had never been saved, And I met the face of harm. I was too far gone, I could not return; I did not see dawn, Death I had earned.
