Finally They Notice
Death’s waves pushed me
Further and further to
The bottom of the black ocean.
Stopping sound and breath,
But allowing the tears that
Stained my face; and
The blood that stained
My forearms.
And everyone else stood
Above me and watched
They watched as I sunk
All the way to the bottom
But it was only until
I reached the bottom
Of Death’s ocean did
Everyone scream, and cry, and curse
Because only then did they realise
Just how close I was.
