Drowning in a sea of false hopes and foolish dreams (Simple Girl

Apple butter toast and an acoustic guitar What more could a simple girl like me need? Sitting on the cold sand singing softly to myself. Salty breeze coats my skin and strings, Giving the music a hidden sad tone to it. I can feel the icy sea start to lap at my feet Chilling my toes and I force myself to not slide away. Today will be the last day I play my music. Foamy water soaks into my jeans, I can feel the salt and sand carving little cuts on my legs. Take a few more bites of my favorite breakfast Savoring the last taste of this world for one finally time. Strum my guitar and hold it steady against the currents They’ve reached my hips now, I feel their fierce pull toward my impending fate. When you wake up in a few hours time, Wander ‘round the house confused and groggy You’ll check my room and the porch, the living room and den Find my letter on the dresser try not to cry I had no other choice. I can see the sun start to rise as the tide drags me out farther Smiling slightly as I watch my guitar float a few inches from me I can feel the water enter my lungs and I don’t even choke. My legs sink first, I’m tossed like a rag doll by an angry Poseidon, Wave goodbye as I see your figure appear on the beach. Lasting sound of your screams and the waves crashing over me This was such a stupid idea but there’s no turning back now. I’m reading the letter over in my mind, trying to remember if I missed a word. Recalling my last line my vision blacks out and I taste the pungent water “When I do this, make sure no one cries at my funeral, its not their fault I’m gone.” Catt<3 ............ 10/10/2007 ............ afternoon
