The Jagged Edge

by MemoirsOfMe   Jun 16, 2007


It's dark now,
I can't see anymore.
I'm falling now,
Tumbling to the ocean floor.

My eyes are gaped to the surface,
Awaiting for a hand.
But I realize no one's there
As I slowly sink into the sand.

I've never felt such lonliness
While I watch the bubbles rise.
They're escaping with me here
Just waiting to die.

How pathetic I must look,
I bet I make mother proud.
I'm gasping for air with a twisted face
While water starts to enter my mouth.

My legs start to kick,
And my arms begin to flail.
The weights against my waist
Keep me from going anywhere.

My hands are bound by the words
Coursing through my tainted mind.
It says it's too late for mistakes,
You've run out of time.

One more chance,
Don't I get the final say?
But death has already been beckoned,
And starts to take me away.

Truth be told that I had no intention,
Yet sometimes we find our soul
Will tip over the jagged edge
And turn against its own.

    "I've never felt such lonliness
    While I watch the bubbles rise.
    They're escaping with me here
    Just waiting to die"

    ...Uh, not something I'm interested in. But it did flow well and I liked the images that came to mind during the piece. I do like the last two stanzas cuz well they went well together and tied up the piece quite nicely. It's just not something I'm into but I did find it was well done.
