The Ocean Waves

When I look out of my window,

I can see the ocean's waves,

Crashing onto the shore

In the world below.

This one evening,

I was walking along the beach,

Where I saw a figure submerging under,

Who knows what she was thinking.

I ran to where I last saw her,

The ice cold water chilling my soul.

I was chest deep into the water

When a big wave pushed me under.

In the darkness I fumbled,

Trying to find the girl submerged.

Another wave came crashing down,

And deeper down I tumbled.

A brief memory filled my mind,

A side effect of a medicine,

My eyes opened to darkness,

Murky waters rendering me blind.

Side effect: hallucination.

The girl I saw submerging herself,

Luring me to my own doom

Was nothing more than a hallucination,

And it showed me my future self.

So I stopped fighting,

I accepted my fate.

I whispered silent goodbyes in my head.

After all, I was dying.

I felt my ears popping the deeper I go,

My soul filling up with a chilling cold.

Only Death can be so bold.

I released all my held in breath,

As I finally let go,

Let go of the torturous life I once had.

I welcomed death

As I ended my final breath.
