Dear Ophelia (Spoken Word Poetry)

Dear Ophelia, did you become a sort of...mermaid?
Swimming about within your cold, wet grave for eternity?
If I choose to dive beneath as well, will I find your cold glare below the ocean waves?
Does the sun no longer warm your pale skin?
Did he not love you the way you wanted? Needed?
It wasn't his fault, darling, you know that.
By no means was it yours, either.
'Twas a simple tragedy, written by the hands of fate...
Ophelia, I hear your siren's call, beckoning me beneath the waves.
Does the water no longer caress you?
Tell me...did you fight for breath or did you swallow the pain-filled waters as the waves thrashed your frail body about?
I'd like to know...
Ophelia, are the flowers still within your hair?
The ones that he put there?
Does his memory still haunt you along the ocean floor?
Ophelia, my mermaid, I would very much like to know...



Yes, I wrote this, and that's me saying it.
