My Watery Grave

by Ashleigh Skye   Jul 20, 2005


I actually thought,
of ending it all,
of letting the cool water,
swallow me whole.

Of counting to ten,
and taking the dive,
deep under the water,
no chance of being revived.

Of a watery grave,
below the lake's shiny top,
where I could swim with the fishes,
and my pain would stop.

No one here cares,
if I live or die,
so by ending it all,
I suppress another cry.

And my pain will stop,
when my body turns grey,
when I've numbed my soul,
for more than a day.

PLZ COMMENT AND VOTE THANX

based on something I felt a few days ago.. if it hadn't have been for my family I would have given into the waters tug but for now at least I have to stay strong.

    Excellent! I love the anxiety in it! I was in a hurry to get to the bottom of it to see how it would end. It kept my interest and was very emotional.

    The only thing I'll say to you is...an untitled poem is a LAZY poem. :) Something to think about.

    how sad! great twist on the topic of suiside. not many can write about it in a way that is almost indirect! nicely done.
