As the lashing waves drowned her.
She saw him, one last time.
Holding out his hand.
To save her from it.
Little did he know.
She had done it to herself.
That she felt peace at last.
As the water filled her lungs.
And as the darkness slowly.
Seeped into her eyes.
She was finally free.
She had been too far from being saved.
So she let him go.
Afraid if she'd drown him.
If she'd held him.
Even if it was for one last time.
