This time it feels like all my hope is lost;
I stand at water’s edge and take a breath.
No knowledge that their words would pay a cost,
I pray they know they brought upon my death.
The broken gate for all to cross inside;
Much like my heart, they tore it at the seems.
A public place for nowhere left to hide,
Beneath the blue you cannot hear the screams.
A last goodbye to all I ever had;
Applause and stand before my final bow.
Release your lungs and let them water clad,
To paint your world in private darkness now.
I dive and sink into the cold abyss,
My life was never meant for more than this.
