The waters deep,
I feel my breath hitch in my throat,
My friend whispers to me "just take a leap",
"don't be scared to death
He tells me to not put up a fight,
It's all going to be okay,
I will be fine,
He tells me to not delay
Should I do as I'm told?
What harm could it do,
It's not like my soul is being sold,
So I jump off into the deep blue
At first I feel fine,
But then the dark waves start to grow,
A shiver crawls up my spine,
I try to scream but my lungs start to overflow
tears well in my eyes,
As I look around for my friend,
And when he's not there a part of me dies,
For he had only been there to see my end
