Lost, scared and all alone; 
Coldness creeps into your bones.
Fighting desperately to stay afloat; 
Hours after the sinking of the boat.
You can hear the others crying out, 
But as time progresses you cant hear a single shout; 
Soon hope begins to fade, and rescueyou begin to doubt.
After a while its hard to think; 
As you slowly start to sink.
That last instinct to survive keeps you awake, 
But you are no match for the chill, so you shake; 
Your limbs seem not to work, and all over you ache.
When you finally go down; 
You cannot help but think of your home town.
All of your loved ones that are there, 
You dont get to tell them how much you care; 
And you would give anything just to share.
One last moment, but it seems it wont be, 
If only you could be freed, but you wont get to see; 
It seems this watery grave was ment for me.                
This is really good. I'm glad you up it up. I can really picture everything you're saying in my head.
