washed away.

This heart beats beside me, as it pumps the room full of blood, it slowly floods. The vital fluid laps at my feet calm and steadily. It gradually creeps up my legs and up to my waist soaking into my skin warming me from the outside in. Its up to my elbows now, I lay back and float in the liquid feeling the calming beat of the heart. As the moments go by I rise higher and higher to the ceiling. I take in my last few breaths slowly and sink to the bottom. I stay there as my body trembles and gasps for air not yet ready to die. Then there is calm. I open my eyes and feel my tingling body and at that moment I let the river wash me away.
