Waterfall

Seconds of nothingness,

exhaling the last remnants of hope,

my lungs filled with water,

dripping, dropping, falling.

My ship lost at sea,

a new chapter screaming to begin,

wind passing through me,

the existence of souls crying out for relief.

Screaming, sounding, shouting.

A glimpse of eyes that I hate so much,

always playing to have the last word,

laughing so loudly,

deafening every sense.

Oh God, why?

Why do you want me broken?

Is this another battle to win?

Another washing of the brain

that you will never comprehend?

Looking, seeing, watching.

Give me more nights.

Give me more sighs.

More deafening sounds.

More blinding lights.

Leave me there, untouched,

but deranged by my own illusions.

Dying, crying, sleeping.

Oh, so divine,

light beneath thunderous skies,

missing my shot

and crying out loud.

Yet I still have the power,

still hold the upper hand.

Driving, guiding, leading.

Erase those years from my past.

Believe in my solitary smile.

Act as though you hate no one.

And doom me

and my wasted tries.
