Blue Sun

I looked into her eyes as I walked off the plank A glimpse into the surrounding water as I searched and sank When will I ever reach the top As I struggled towards up Only to relive the chance before the drop I would tell her to stop, I would tell her to stay In promise that there will always be a brighter day This day I would promise would never come For flooded eyes can't see past a blue sun My naked body now stripped from the sea I stare down at the body that lay before me Her eyes now shallow as I wore most of it Her head above water could now be lit I coupled regret with my hand soaking wet As her grip within would soon be gone Gave new meaning to the words float on Before the release of sunken sorrow I closed her blue eyes to reveal tomorrow

When written, the imagery was of a detective finding a young woman who had killed herself and at his last attempts to save her, he could not.
