Subject: Into the Abyss

The sleepy gaze of our wandering hearts faded in the dark of the evening,
Close friends parked silently by the riverside.
No one saying a word about what they're thinking,
just sitting and staring out into nothing.
Hours passed and not a word was spoken,
Hearts were speaking.
I laid myself down on the road and prayed out loud for the first time in my life.
"God, if you can hear me, save me from myself!"
No sound came from above me, no laughter from below.
I stood and ran towards the edge of the bridge and without a noise I jumped off into the abyss.
Floating through the black I could feel my stomach shift into my throat.
My hair whipping around my face and my hands trying to make these arms grow wings.
In that instant I was free from what my mind was burdened with.
We are all just animals living in the wilderness, it's just that We are held accountable.
I smashed into the water with the force of a cannonball shot
from Mars.
Sinking to the bottom, all the euphoria had left me and found panic.
Strange how you can want death so bad but you don't want to die just before you're dead?
I clamored for the surface in the black water and felt the pull of the current taking me under.
Tree limbs and weeds in every clutch towards air.
To the surface before my lungs gave out, to release from death and suffocating,
but not out of harms way, not out of the real darkness.
Still so far away from what was really eating me, hell and gone from what might make me sane.
I looked up to the stars and told God or whatever was up there, I would do just fine without them.
And that was just the beginning of the mistakes I made...
