At The Waters Edge

The cold waters hit my feet
As I stare out at the nothingness
That is the sea

The water laps at my ankles
stealing away all the warmth
in my body

a horrid chill seeps in
dragging up the misery
that was locked away in my heart

A crushing weight presses
down on my chest
threatening to suffocate me

The water hits my legs
I stare down at the
criss crossing scars

The scars
where cold metal
Met fragile flesh

The Metal sliced as the
Flesh snagged and gave
letting blood flow

The water laps at my knees
Obscuring the Scars
Hiding my past once more

The Pressure on my chest
Gets heavier, threatening
to cut off my oxygen

Final thoughts
start crashing in
Like the menacing waves before me

The water tugs at my waist
growing impatient
wanting me for itself

The water bites me
with its icy jaws
slowly pulling me under

My life flashes before me
As I realize how pitiful
and sad it had been

The water closes over my eyes
drowning away my life
Then.....

..........There Was Nothing
