The unknown depths
the oceans swallow
 the sadness within
 they pull in the waste
 they spread it thin
 you'll feel the relief
 for the moments they pass
 but time slows down
 as it creeps back to last
 the water grows deeper
 you'll feel it in your heart
 that sinking of your dreams
 when they never had a start
 you'll struggle at first
 the depth fills those voids
 but your not ready
 no not yet to die
 so the lights flash
 and you open your eyes
 your return to your past
 you regret all your sins
 you plead for a chance
 to sincerely begin
 the promises you utter
 are those of desperation
 those words aren't yours
 rumors of contemplation
 the battle wars on
 but your losing to fast
 the grip on reality
 fades into the past
 your furious; angry
 the red pulses like blood
 the light turns to dark
 theres no heaven above
 no one can save you
 so you give up in the end
 but a surprise awaits
 the voice of a friend
 someone long lost
 but still there in the distance
 the voice of reason
 lingering in existence
 you'll calm your mind
 you'll release your pain
 you might even forgive
 the beauty of a charade
 but it takes death to see
 what lies beneath the fury
 when water break the boundaries
 vengeance can be buried
 You must die to see the light
 you must live to see the pain
 its ironic how we suffer
 its backwards in this game
 but so are thoughts and reason
 our logic and our prayers
 we beg for our saviors
 but destroy what good was there
 constantly at war
 between love and logic
 its not a battle to win
 its great just to survive it
 I've seen the darkest waters
 i've stopped the breath of time
 the coldness has consumed me
 so maybe this isn't a lie
 i actually might forgive you
 i realize its not your fault
 with such a born fatality
 you were always at a loss
 i see the clarity now
 the colors aren't red
 your name doesn't hurt
 or remain spiraling in my head 
 your face doesn't hold
 the memories it once did
 its an expression of ignorance
 no regrets to what i didn't give
 I could easily say i loved you
 but i'll love again its true
 your were really indispensable
 but to you, i was too
 i hope you reach those waters
 i hope you see yourself
 not through my tainted eyes
 but in the eyes of self respect
 The water darkens as you fall
 the feeling becomes more numb
 but fall far enough
 and a new life may have begun.
