Suicide Bay

They say the sunrise there bleeds into the water
when it rises above the coast.

And soaks into the seabed where a thousand dead souls reside and regret ever existing.

They say that when children play by the docks
their feet tickle the dreams of those who have died
and make them remember the horrors they had lived.

They call this place paradise above the water
Yet others like to tell of this hell under the sea.
