Crying,
as I looked
in the mirror as I
filled up the bathtub.
I climbed in and laid down.
The water was so hot, but I didn't
care so I put my back on the floor of it.
It felt so good, almost peaceful and calming;
I let my head fall, and the water was high enough
to cover my whole face, so I was entirely underwater.
There, I opened my eyes. But I swear I heard voices in my head
as I was laying there. I spent the next moment just listening to them.
It was a long time until I realized I was out of breath
and I just lifted my head up. My hazel eyes
went black only for a moment, and
I wondered, who the hell did
those voices belong to?
I sat up, and realized.
They were the
words of
my dead
friends.
The lines
that they said,
just before they died.
The words that are etched
right into my mind to this moment.
Right now, at this time, and I can remember
the faces they had. Smiling faces. A big grin on their faces.
The lines they said, they were so beautiful, that there
in the bathtub, I smiled, and I knew.
Right there, they still wanted
me to live life to the
fullest for them
since they
can't.
