“Eternity's End”
My lover and I went to the beach to have fun.
We dipped into the ocean to cool off from the blistering sun.
We swam in the ocean until the beginning of dawn,
When a surprise wave hit us, then my lover was gone.
I searched and searched for her without a moment’s pause.
I looked towards the endless sea and the beach to see where she was,
Then through the murky beams and blue-green sea life,
I saw her spinning towards the moonlight.
I pull her in, she wasn't breathing.
Her eyes were wide, my heart was quickly beating.
I gave her mouth to mouth to bring life back into her.
She still wasn’t moving and my fears begin to make me shiver.
I held her hand and ask her to pull through,
Then a voice unknown said "She probably can't hear you".
For me to take her place is what I pray.
For me to die instead of her on that terrible day.
If love is eternal, then eternity’s done.
Her spirit has left this world and her love is gone.
