One With The Sea (Part II)

A stormy night on the open sea
She felt it was time to cease to be
One last glimpse, one last breath
Saying a prayer, jumping to her death.

He saw her jump, and screamed to her
He couldn't imagine this would occur
Immediately ringing the ships bell
As the sea rose and fell in vertiginous swells.

They tried to rescue this beloved girl
Through the thrashing water her body hurled
Disappearing and reappearing
Swept away in a massive wave.

Hope was fading as treacherous waves
were hammering on these men so brave
Trying to find her, she who wanted to die
Looking for her, there's no time to cry.

Like a falling cliff, the wave smashes down
In the searchlight he sees her, she is found
Her skin has a blue-ish deathly pallor
A faint desperate smile crept across his face.

He knows she's dead, he is jaded
His world went black, his strength quickly faded
He knows they are too late, now it's time to grief
The ocean swallowed her like a dead leaf.
