My Mistake

The green sea is haunting me.
It taunts me with its welcoming waves.
I can barely resist the urge to go to the sandy shore,
and put my feet in the water.
I can't go in there,
I tell myself over and over again.
I'm shaking with fear,
and shivering from the cold, misty air.
I watch other people dare to go in the icy water.
The never come back up,
I don't either.
I walk down the beach,
and dive into the waves.
The water starts to boil,
and I sink down,
farther than the ocean floor.
It's so hot I think I'm going to die,
Right there,
Farther than the ocean floor.
The dark water twist and turns,
and pulls my into a pitch-black whirlwind.
I didn't want this to happen,
and I didn't mean for it to.
I only wanted to touch the water,
to feel the sand in-between my toes.
It was a mistake,
I didn't mean to,
But I still did.
The funnel of water pulls me down
Until I am standing at the gates of hell,
Waiting for my doom.
Temptation led me astray,
It was my mistake.
