Drowning in a sea of tragedy,

engulfed by relentless waves of

heartache and despair,

I fill my lungs.

Burning deep inside as I am

removed,

loose-limbed and euphoric,

I fall towards the blackness of release.

Numbing cold creeps through

my waning heart, stopping the hurt

and I cry,

tearless and relieved.

The last light of the day is always the prettiest.
