Words Sung By A Weeping Soul

LIGHT

my life 

goes past me

in never ending waves.

and 

 I drown in them

hard to breathe

hurts to shout

so i helplessly drown

i gave up 

i don't want to swim up

swim to that shining light

so beautiful

Such a beautiful light

yet so dangerous

so i drown 

drown

while watching the light grow

fainter and fainter 

the bubbles of my last breath 

look so precious

yet for some reason 

I'm content

watching them 

float away from me

i feel strangely calm looking at the slowly fading light.

i feel so sleepy.

it hurts to breathe.

so i can stop doing it right?

i can go to sleep.

with one futile attempt to reach towards the bright light.

I close my eyes.

let the dark depths swallow me.

let the gently swaying waves carry my limp form to the depths.

the depth where no light reaches.

the depth where nothing lives.
