End - Anachronaeon

Water

Covering me

Reflections

Below the surface

Just a few more breaths

To become one with the stream

I have fulfilled most of my dreams

By the measurements of society

Though the longing has always been stronger

Than the final outcome

They all say this should be enough

But my spirit is longing for something else

The spark of life is fading

Could I find release if I turn away?

This is the end

I have given all I can

But I am through, my friend

The love we both feel

Could never be a reason

To stay alive for me

All of my life I’ve struggled to fill this void

But it keeps eating and tearing

Life’s colors are fading away

Slowly to be replaced by nothingness

Today I feel like something has changed

A feeling of determination slowly taking form

A sudden urge to watch the sea

I can feel it calling and I’m longing

I want it to consume me

Take my body away

Release me from these chains of life

In oblivion I am free

I take one step into the sea

It chills me and satisfies me at the same time

I walk further out

The water caresses my neck

This is the end

I have given all I can

But I am through, my friend

The love we both feel

Could never be a reason

To stay alive for me

All of my life I’ve struggled to fill this void

But it keeps eating and tearing

Life’s colors are fading away

Slowly to be replaced by nothingness

I just keep walking further and further

My head is all below the surface

Your face seems so clear to me

I walk towards your smile

I inhale, and close my eyes, I hear your laughter

And float away into the stream

Soon I’ll cross the border between life and eternity

And I feel happy for the first time in years

Water

Covering me

Reflections

Below the surface

Just a few more breaths

To become one with the stream
