Silence Was The Water

Silence can hide many things and End many things....

I reached for her hand

But she was too far

She was gurgling water

Desperately reaching for something

I reached and reached

Splash

I fell in

I couldn't swim!

Finding strength and courage

I reached for her

Pulled her to shore

Trying best to stay afloat

Laying her on the half mud half sand beach

Her face was pale

Chest not moving

Nothing...

One, Two, Three

Breathe!

One, Two, Three

Breathe!

One, Two, Three

Breathe!

Coughing

She blinks her eyes and weakly smiles

I hug her and she wraps her arms around me

I wiped the tears

We could have both drowned

I looked towards the water

"How?"

The waves splashed to shore

Sun rising ever so slowly

The birds were silent

Crickets too

I looked to her and she sat up and wrapped around me

"Thank You!"

I turned my back to the water

So many times

So many days

I looked behind me and no one was in sight

The calmness of the lake soothed me

I miss her ever so dearly

The sun was setting ever so slowly 

The birds were silent

Crickets too

I can't believe that that day was so down

Nothing was normal

Nothing seemed right

They saved me

Why not her!?

They told me see was to far gone

I was on the verge 

I clench my jaw

The water seemed to still

Silence was everywhere

I looked behind me

Blue and Red lights flashed

I smirked

He got what he deserved!

I pulled the gun out and smiled

"Thanks sis for everything. I will see you soon."

I walked out in the water

Where she went down

I went deep enough

Exact spot

I couldn't touch

Pulling the silver gun up

I smiled and looked up

The cops yelled

"Drop the gun!"

"Hands up!"

I laughed

"Love you sis!"

~Silence~

The water settled ever so silently

Nothing but Silence

The waves never hit the shore

Sun setting

The birds never spoke

Crickets too

~Silence~
