Heres a new poem I wrote, enjoy:
Quicksand-
In steps of slowly grasping quicksand,
Her face beams a pure light.
You pull one leg, then another.
Only further and further down.
The yellow mush engulfing
Every thought, every emotion.
Your eyes glaze over in fear,
As she seems so distant.
Soon it reaches your chest, your neck.
The world on shaky ground.
She looks away in disgust,
As you struggle.
The sand's rough grains,
Flowing into your mouth,
Choking the words away.
And her figure disappears
Into the light.
Darkness as your eyes burn.
Your chest pressed down
With the weight of your own mind.
The pressure slowly taking away
Everything hoped.
Then it happens, a quick
Snap. You cease
And the world continues,
No one knows or cares.
You were there? Who?
Quicksand-
