The Tide Poem by Noah Body

The flames stretch out so high
Way up into the darkened sky

To step into them, oh so sweet
Exquisite pain from head to feet

All this would end, never more
Losing all despite the score

The black will reign ever supreme
Cease to exist or so it will seem

Pain and darkness call my name
Nothing will ever be the same

Why Oh Lord can't I die?
Ascend to You in the sky?

I just can't take it no more
My soul a tide eroded shore
