The Worlds Blanket
I could feel it, feel the wind
As it rushed through my hair
Stinging my eyes without a care
As I watched lighting crack across the sky
As I thought to myself "I'm going to die"
Rain pelting my face
Those few seconds
Almost like floating in space
Seeing the ship rising over a wave
As I fell through the sky from the last crash
The wave hitting hard, knocking me
Knocking me into the unknown sea
Those few seconds as I fell
I just looked up and thought to myself
"I didn't say I loved her when I last left"
As the hard hit of the water finally came
Engulfing itself around me
My heart racing a mile a minute
Eyes trying to see through the water
As I try to pull myself up
Already weak from hitting the water
The current pulling, come to me child
The surface lighting up from lighting
Everything was quiet, time felt it stopped
As I clawed my way up, back to the top
Breaking through that window to the sky
Gasping for life and no more lies
Waters raging, winds howling, thunder roaring
Lightning cracking the very skies
Nothing to be seen in any direction
No way to use my discretion
It was all gone, the boat, land
Just me floating with myself
Waves crashing into me
Slowly draining the life from me
Was there a point to stay above?
Where the skies were angry with me
What had I done to deserve this?
My heart was racing so fast
I feel it may explode at long last
Finally after what seemed like forever
My strength gave out, and I slowly floated under
Under the blanket of the earth
To return to whence I came
Slowly floating down
My hands reaching up to the heavens
With what little strength I had left
If tears could flow from my eyes
They would
Salty water, held back by salty water
My sorrow made of what was killing me
Trying to escape as it entered me
My lungs, collecting the worlds sorrows
My vision going black
I wish....
I....Wish I was...
Going....back
