Hidden Penitentiary
By Heart of Stone
I'm shaking uncontrolably
With hopes of living again
Dead,
I sink slowly to the bottom
This black abyss of emotion
Holds my secrets
Dive in
Drown with me
The moment you hit my icy waters
You'll lose your breath
Panicing,
You'll try to swim back up
To the surface
Where you felt safe
But it's too late
You missed all of the signs
None of my prisoners live.

This just stole me, I started to read but I left shaking on the shore watching someone drown, the water engulfing and stealing his body. It sounded threatening and held an air to it that was just incredible
