Baited to You, Death Deliver Me

A Poem by Reign

of metaphors and tragedy...

There are many fishes in the water;
a lot of them say, or so I thought.
There was a variety of them; with
different and unique colors and features.
But somehow, it was not that interesting;
all of them followed the same flow in the stream.

And so I wandered off and left the group,
going beneath the depths and the surface
top. But nothing changed, it's still the same
color blue and the sounds of the repeating
waves.

Till that day came; when I found a hook.
A mesmerizing metal that had a sharp edge,
it looked different and has that mysterious
look.

My eyes couldn't turn away, I came closer
and closer. It was a strange relationship
between her and I, just being close and
yet so far, it was comforting.

I felt excited, what was it like; what did it feel
to be near that mysterious object?
I asked and asked; till my curiosity got the
better of me.

Coming closer, I took the bait; for a moment
I felt a sense of understanding.

It pulled me up, higher and higher into the
surface...

I felt the sun's warm rays, melting through my
cold scales. Until, I felt that I couldn't breath...
This new place, where am I? Why does this
atmosphere that I breath pains me...

I found myself in a new world, it was beautiful
and yet so painful. I looked back again to
see what happened to metal hook and alas...

I found my mouth bleeding with it's sharp edge
piercing through my mouth. It was painful,
I felt so foolish, as a creature of unknown nature
took me to it's place.

I was slowly dying; but somehow it did not matter
anymore... But I wanted to escape, I wanted to run!

All this mixed feelings; flowing in my veins and
consciousness... Make it go away! make it go away!

But then, I saw her again; that mysterious hook
that took me away from the sea. We were both
placed in a dark place, it was horrifying, I learned
of the truth.

I regretted my decision; but not the action I took.
I wanted to die for the pain was unforgiving;
But it's alright, I am already here, I won't go
anywhere for i have no more place, I'll remain...

Cause despite the cruel truth; even in the darkness
that resides within this room. Just knowing that I
had spend my final moments with that metal hook
I call her, was enough to ask for death to deliver me.
