Sweet, Sweet Lullabies

I wrote this poem several weeks ago. It reflects a time in the military when I wanted to kill myself. I stood upon the precipice of a cliff in Bahrain, overlooking the North Arabian Sea. This poem is a bit sad, but writing it did my heart well.
Silent reveries and candy memories,
caramel winds whisper my heart's intent;
may the loving tide wash away my tears
Crystal skies and lullabies,
soothing songs of fading light;
seal my secrets within the shadows of the deep
A solemn story,
upon the gentle breeze, I inscribe;
carry the rest away with the tide
Shimmering cliffs from whence I'll drift;
this body stowed,
forever lost within the undertow
Serenade me into the endless dark,
free-falling from worldly ties;
I am undeserving of such sweet, sweet lullabies
Silent reveries and candy memories,
caramel winds whisper my heart's intent;
may the loving tide wash away my tears
Crystal skies and lullabies,
soothing songs of fading light;
seal my secrets within the shadows of the deep
A solemn story,
upon the gentle breeze, I inscribe;
carry the rest away with the tide
Shimmering cliffs from whence I'll drift;
this body stowed,
forever lost within the undertow
Serenade me into the endless dark,
free-falling from worldly ties;
I am undeserving of such sweet, sweet lullabies
