Drowning was never my first choice

Crashing down like waves on top of me
The tide brings hate in from the sea tonight
But those thoughts are all fading now
Blacking out is better than fading out
but drowning was never my first choice

So I'll try this one last time for me

But i can't promise anything because

I'm blinded by my infamy

And visions from a life not lived

A mirage of what might have been

It reflects itself in the tide on its way out tonight

But drowning was never my first choice

Very deep poem.. I enjoyed reading this.. You wrote it with such feeling! I am not sure that I can see this as song lyrics, but it is cryptic & a very very good poem! Thanks for entering my contest!

This takes my breath literally. It is full of pain.and yet so full of the story leaves one to do a lot of thinking.
