Blue Lips, Still Heart

Waves against your body

Foundation nonexistent

Underneath, motionless

Breathe in the water

Welcome the darkness

There's no turning back,

Do you wish there was?

Try to fight, forsaken one

Your life is coming to a close

You're kneeling at death's feet

This is the last chapter

Of the life you chose to end

There's no turning back,

Do you wish there was?

Keep your eyes closed

This darkness is eternal

Let your thoughts dissipate

They no longer matter

Rest your lungs, forsaken one

There's no turning back,

Do you wish there was?

You're asleep forever now

Eyes closed, lips blue

The ocean floor your home

You're heart is still, you're motionless

Is this what you wanted?

There's no turning back,

Didn't you wish there was?

Author's Note

My main goal was to express the feelings of those who commit suicide prior to their death. This is my first poem in a very long time, let me know what you think!
