Suicide

Did the sea
seem inviting
that day?
The way
it must have
taken your breathe 
away
for you to 
say,

"Ah, here
I'll stay,"

Did you love the 
sea more
than air 
that day?

As the skies 
rumbled,
down pouring 
their gentle 
guilt 
in your tangled 
mess of hair,

The way
it trickled down 
your smiling face
- into your mouth,
I can almost imagine,

Did the sea
not scream 
murder 
as you divulged 
beneath 
its rough 
edged 
waves,

Did you not
claw 
towards the
heavens,
Did you not 
scream 
Until 
you were 
strangled
alive?

Did you love 
the sea so dearly,
to let it's 
cold 
arms 
drag you 
to even colder 
places.
