There was this boy,
With blue eyes and olive skin,
His body was rigid,
But his heart was not;
There was this girl,
With night-lock black hair and dark bruised lips,
Her face showed emotions,
But she felt nothing;
The boy had nothing to lose anymore,
All he loved was gone,
All he had left was one emotion,
It went by the name Pain;
The girl didn't know what it feels like to lose something you loved,
She never had anything worth caring for in the first place,
She was enslaved by one thing,
It bought her by the name Depression;
They both had nothing to gain or lose,
They decided, separately, to end it all on the top of a cliff,
The ******* the left side, a view of the NYC skyline,
The boy on the right side, a view of the vast graveyard;
They jumped equally, never seeing each other in the process,
Bodies hit the water simultaneously,
The boy in his black tuxedo,
The girl in her white dress;
The waves took the girl deep, deep below,
The salt-infested water rushed in and flooded the boy's lung,
Both felt pain,
So they tried to escape,
Thought there would be an easier way to do this;
The boy swam left,
And the girl swam right,
They collided with one another in the middle,
Grasping at each other;
The water settled around them as they did so,
They became life supporters without meaning to,
And as the sun dipped at its horizon,
And the stars stole the night sky;
They lay there,
Afloat,
Drifting on to their future,
Finding a reason to live in each other.
