A the end of my suffering, there was a door
It had gone on
So
Long
I'd stopped looking
I didn't look to leave
The ocean of my own tears
Didn't try
To fashion a raft
As the water crept up further
Onto my island of sanity
I stopped noticing the ships
That would pass by
The light of their souls reaching out
To me
No one can save me
Not now
Not anymore
I didn't even try to open it
The door
I just stayed still
Letting the waters creep up
Tasting their salt on my tongue
And, breathing in all my sadness,
I let myself drown in blue
There's nothing anymore
No one left to carry my body to shore
There are no shadows on azure seawater
