I patiently waited
for the day I'd drown
Drown in my sorrows
Drown in the overwhelming
urge that
drowning was all I had left
To drown peacefully
as the sun bid
farewell
I'd sink lower and lower
until my body
was no longer a body
of a human
but a body of
water
like the ocean I
would no longer have a
beginning
or end.
I would just be.
The murmurs of
fish would happily
greet me
my eyes would no
longer be brown
but a deep blue
reflecting the
parts of my soul
that no longer needed
oxygen to stay
afloat
When they come looking
for me
whoever they find
won't be me.
I'll be watching with
one last breath
seeing that the person
with closed
brown eyes
Is someone from a
distant
memory
My skin would not
be pale and blue
but burning with
Life
No one
would look for me
here
Not Anymore
my tired arms
would submerge
me once again
but this time
I wouldn't drown
I'd swim.
