Ocean of Missed Chances

by Beautiful Forever   Feb 3, 2008


Laying on my bed, drowning in sadness,
Losing my mind, drifting to madness,
I see a shining, in the distance,
Trying to hold on to it's subsistence,

I run across the floor, down the stairs,
Out the door, no one cares,
My heart is pulling me away from here,
Still I follow without a hint of fear,

I come the the edge of a shore,
But my heart screamed out for more,
Slowly I entered the water and waded,
Trying to figure out how I was persuaded,

This situation doesn't feel right,
My loungs are becoming too tight,
Theres a flash of a distant memory,
Then the current pulled me into the sea,

Kicking and splashing, gasping for air,
Out of fear I begin to swear,
My life is now flashing before my eyes,
Still screaming, with no one to hear my cries,

I start to see what could have been,
As the water rises above my chin,
Losing sight of all my romances,
I drown in an ocean of missed chances.

    A perfect conclusion.
