The Pond

I slipped on a teardrop and landed in a pond The Pond of purgatory souls On the earth they thought they belonged Claimed they had just lost control Wanting to return they had made a mistake A decision full of regret The pond from the tears of their heartache Their destiny they had set Gathered around the pond in reflection In unison they cried If only they'd chosen another direction Instead of suicide
