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
