Bleak waters

Standing before the waters bleak
Eyes locked to its cold surface
Watching as the bodies pass by
Travelling into unknown regions

Caught in the remembrance
Poisonous longing overwhelms
There is no way to turns back
From this realm of violent ghosts

Walking down into the river
Choking in its dark embrace
With the will to live lost
Only hope left is to be erased

Sinking under, captured by the stream
Lungs filling with blessed nectar
River carrying the lifeless corpse
Through the gates of another death
