Dejection

The moon rides higher
and hides behind a cloud
the waves strike the shore
with a sound so loud

I sit on a cliff
thinking of my past
dejected with my life
how long will it last?

Suddenly a tide comes in
drenches me to the bone
leaves me behind shivering
I've no one to call my own

I beg the heavens above
to rid me from this misery
I want to end this life now
shed this cursed livery

I stand up and look down
the violent sea, so inviting
the roaring turbulence
and the dark waters, so tempting

Howling winds push me back
but nothing deters my ardour
a plunge to end it all
to burn out, to surrender

I make my final dive
spiralling down below
the oceans eager to engulf me
into their everlasting flow
