Sad Poems

~Silent Drowning~

                       The sloshing of the water is peaceful as can be.

        The water being a dark blue, my eyes burning from the salt and unable to see.

I float through the blackness and drift through the waves,

                   And as I swallow water I wonder what words will soon be written on my grave.

       It's actually pretty calming, being alone in my thoughts as I float down,

         But it's also haunting as I let my body go limp and silently drown.

Letting all of my worries and regrets run through my head, going south,

       I choke on the water and the words that are coming out of my mouth.

Then as everything goes black, I rekindle memories of my past life.

                 Then death creeps upon me and stabs through me like a knife.
