Watery Grave

I walk into the water
I feel the stream brush past me
In my mind, I do not falter
In the water, I can be free

It sweeps at me
Inviting me into its aqua intensity
I smile at the waves; they seem so joyous, happy
My actions are self-explanatory

I let the waves pull me out to sea
Let them drag me beyond point of life
All the times I only wish this is the way I leave
To drown, cleaner than the knife

The waves usher me into the sparseness
Before I know, I am soaked with the watery grave
I glance down into the waves themselves, see the darkness
And know that I will become they're slave

Dragged down by the current, I do not fight
I let all my thoughts leave with the air
The sun that once was, does not show any light
As I sink past it's once lighted hands, I couldn't really care

My eyes are open, I see the sea's face
It smiles at me, welcomes me into its expanse
It comes closer, I am enveloped in its embrace
It sweeps me along to the bottom, in a lighthearted dance

My hair fans out into the oceans vastness
My arms flowing beside me
I once was scared of the never-ending darkness
But now I know, I can be free

I sink without air, confusion, pain
I see nothing with the dark, I smile to the water
I feel no hate, no blame
And then I let my mind wonder and die, I no longer need to falter

"In the water, I float to the black
My mind is empty, I am alone
I cannot and will not turn back
The water, the sea, the darkness, is now my home"
