Into The Unknown

Water's pushing against my chest,
Making it impossible to draw a breath.

Why had I tried so hard to go underneath?
When I knew my chest might be under siege
By the oblivious waters.

Now when I falter,
I know full and well
There's a chance I could actually live
And then again, a chance I could actually die.

I'd tried to reach a high.
Like for example: the feeling of paragliding in the sky
Or standing alone in an elevator: oh my!
But this was far more dangerous than that crazy activities combined.

Over and over again,
I tried to go underneath.
I tried to reach the places where it was almost impossible to breathe,
To reach the places with the most darkest crevasses,
Where the feelings such as hatred
Were at it's finest.
I tried to reach the unknown.
It was at my own risk
Which meant I was completely alone.
But I was completely alone in the very beginning, was I not?

And then suddenly I awoke with a start.
It was all unreal, it was all the nightmares creeping out
From the base of my cold, cold heart.
The nightmares of him and I.
His feelings towards me as clear as the violent, thunderous sky.
The same sky we used to lie under every single night.
We always awaited the rain
Yet it never came.

Now as I look up,
A drop caresses my cheek
That had come from above me,
And with meek eyes
I wipe it away grudgingly.
