Drown

Hold its breath back
And don't make a sound
Stick its head in water
And watch it down

Suffering ended with a thing of translucence
An escape plan once thought up
Who'd guess they would use it
Killed by the crud
That came from their eyes
But no more tears can come out
After the eye dies

No more nights without sleep
Silent in bed
Rethinking the words
They wish could be said.
