Poem
I always hated water, being in the middle of nowhere, but it was the only way to be with you.. Now, I'm helpless, my fingers trembling, lips quivering, eyes full of tears, as this ship sinks, inch by inch. I write what are my last words, as the stench of fear, slowly fills the bitter air. I'm so scared. I can see lifeboats over loaded with the 'privileged', their aura in a state of shock, but so sullen. Not all children have escaped, not all children!!! How is that fair?? Some have jumped into the sea, desperate to survive, but its too cold.... It's freezing. I'm just going to accept there is no escape. I don't know if I'm a coward or being brave, but I refuse to go up to the deck. This room is now my tomb. The violinist won't stop playing, his music, so eerie, as we face our fate. The captain said; "Even God could not sink this ship." But you can't cheat God.. I see him crying in the corner, ready to decay into death - such a pathetic man. There are brief screams of "Help!" but then only a haunting silence. I think about my mum tell her, I love her and I'm so, so sorry, for I left her behind to follow my dreams, where I thought I would find heaven, but now seem bound into the unknown.. I had left the English shores, to be in your arms my sweetheart.. So many hopes, so many promises to be together... Forever, to touch and caress your soft skin and to place this gold ring on your finger, dreams of children, places we would see, food we would eat, poetry we would recite, starry nights and sweet sunsets, now slowly fade away... I can see your face, your almond eyes, your scarlet lips, your hand reaching out to me... An enchanting last mirage. I'm so sorry my love, so, so, sorry, to leave you this way, life can be so cruel, but remember me, please don't forget me, you were my only treasure I just wish I could have kissed you one more time... but God has deprived that from me... Please don't mourn for me, but cherish our memories, be happy and live your life, find love, have children and travel the world.. At least, I will not live in regret. I write my last words with my last breath, as I begin to feel numb, I will place my hands together and repent... This is my goodbye to the world.
