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  
.....
