As The Mist Rolls In

As The Mist Rolls In

A Poem by The Scope of A Cynic

I feel my leaden lids quiver
A sea of over compensation
swallows me whole
I gasp
I choke

on salty air I struggle
Against a sea not only of 
troubles and torment

but scratching Banshees
Claw at my raw, salt-soaked skin
Eyes sting
Lungs burn
I'm slipping, I feel myself slipping
Clutching at air I gasp

Grasping hold of one lonely memory
I feel it fade
As the darkness washes over me
I
Give
In
