A Suicide Dedicated to the Sea

The morning greeted me, with the song of birds high up in the trees. The dirt was damp and the sky was clear. The end of the day grew nearer and nearer. In the distance, a little girl screamed, her dog barked and her mother feared. It was in this moment, I missed them most, the family I had that was now ghost. It was in this moment I had to breathe deep, decision made; I decided to cheat.

Through the forest and out to the cliffs, the blue green sea was awake and quick. The waves greeted me and the waters reflected the hope above, of heaven or hell, either would welcome a poor little girl. A girl  who'd some how become me, all alone in a sea of grief. Too soon or not soon enough, the little girl screamed again and again, in pain or fear, maybe in grief. A stranger or me, it seemed incomplete.

For this time I knew the girl who screamed, a girl with no future ambitions and lost dreams. This feat had done her in. No more earth was between my toes, the wind rose up and the falling of my body slowed. The last thing I saw, through glassy eyes, was the sun and the birds high up in the blue clear sky, and a girl who was falling and soon would be dead or alive she would be and more than happy, among people who resembled her own caring family. Lost or found, she was where she needed to be, high in the sky yet deep in ground. Gone but immortal, forgotten, maybe not; her body lay in the sea.
