Down Into the Waves (Lady in Grey)

It's actually a song. :]

A lady in grey, walking through the tall grass
The salt filling her lungs
Her favorite place to be
Though she wanted something to break
All the monotony

She came to the cliff, staring off the edge
Into the waters so deep
Waves crashed against the rocks below
And seagulls flocked above

She peered down into the waves
Seeing what was hiding amongst the foam
She saw there, floating, a man of whom
The likes she had never seen

She jumped down into the waves
WIthout looking to see the way, looking to see the way
But she was wrong, oh was she wrong
She thought it was so deep, thought it was so deep
She jumped down into the waves
And it was shallow as it could get, shallow was it could get
She had been deceived

Now she's in a crumpled mess
Down amongst the rocks
Her torn and tattered dress
Floating amongst the foam
And worst of all
She was all alone
The man was nowhere to be found

She jumped down into the waves
WIthout looking to see the way, looking to see the way
But she was wrong, oh was she wrong
She thought it was so deep, thought it was so deep
She jumped down into the waves
And it was shallow as it could get, shallow was it could get
She had been deceived

One word: Gorgeous. I can so picture it as a song. The imagery in the poem just took my breath away. The whole concept of it being looking into something which seems to alluring at that time. And you'd do anything to grab hold of it. But when you actually do, it doesn't seem to be all that great anymore. Yeah, Wow. Loved it. I think from all the poems of yours I've read, I like this one the best. Pumpkin pie was brilliant too =]

This is amazing. I felt as if I could be right beside the 'Lady in Grey'.
Keep writing. :)
