Oceanfall
One final leap into the depths below is all it really takes
Open my lungs up, and let freezing freedom take my breath away
I did my time here on Earth, I served my time in life
So now I'm done, it's over, I no longer need to be alive
I've seen what cannot be unseen, I've done what I cannot undo
I cannot change the past, and the future is what I cannot live through
Splash
DOWN
Down
down
A watery grave is what I have dreamed of, it's all I have ever really wanted
A slow, and silent decent, it's an honor to finally become one of the departed
My eyes unknowingly darken, as I instantly try to grasp onto the last of the light
Realizing this is the last time I'll see through my human body, it's such a beautiful sight
But crying underwater seems like it's impossible to do, so I'll still try my best to defy the odds
Because I know I've felt all of the different kinds of pain, so this is me letting go of what I've got
Numbing
FADE
Fade
fade
I suddenly feel all of the world's weight pressing down on me, crushingly
It's like every burden in existence is burying me, completely
I feel every tear of every soul showering me, peacefully
All of that invisible hurt is entering me, such agony
Pulling me down deeper and deeper, please hurry
I don't regret this, but I'm still so sorry
Panic
REACH
Reach
reach
I close my eyes, and all I hear is the echo of bubbles escaping their way to the surface
My body can no longer feel anything, but it seems that my soul still has some purpose
It's so calm now, I can't tell if I'm still lingering, this is a different kind of peace
But I guess this must be it, this is what death is like, when you let the pain finally cease
Letting go, to move on, it's something we all must do at one point or another
Moving on, to let go, because no human should ever have to suffer
Death
DROWN
Drown
drown
Well I'm so glad that you enjoyed this one that much. It was really different writing this poem. Thank you for your enthusiasm. It lifted my spirit up when I read this.
Sorry for the late response.
I'm surprised it had that effect
This was one of those 'in the moment' type poems, I wrote it after I saw this movie, and it probably took about an hour to finalize everything. This was a fun one to write, in my mind, I pictured myself in that situation and thought of what it would be like. And this is what I came up with in the end. <3 Thank you.
