A Beautiful Suicide

Cloaked in a blissful disguise
Hiding a tragic secret
The consuming damnation cannot be eluded
Buried in deceit
The dead share secrets of the waters
Drowning — a beautiful suicide
A cold autumn night
She walks alone
Her porcelain skin shines in moonlight
A phantom from beyond leads her to a peaceful lake
The water glimmers and the voice of a calm tide invites her in
She looks up at the stars
Takes a deep breath
And says her final farewell to this earth
The abysmal plunge brings euphoria within
Silencing her life of woe and misery
Long yearning for freedom
Grasped by the arms of death
