The water laps at my feet,

As I stand at the edge

Of the lake.


I look out into the water

And I see my own reflection.

My hair flying like a halo around my head,

And my legs covered in mud.

My eyes bloodshot,

My face streaked with dirty tears.


I take a step forward

Into the water

And feel its icy fingertips take me further.

I sink deeper into the dark water,

And wait for the end

Which is sure to come;

The peace and the rest.


My last thought was you,

My last memory

Before my end

Was you smiling at me

As we walked hand in hand

And soon we will once more

Walk like that.


We will soon be together again.

This time I will take your hand and never let go.

I will spend eternity with your big hands holding mine.

In your warm embrace I will stay

And your soft warm eyes

Looking into mine with such love

I will be forever more.
