Question: A re-write, does this flow better!? "Assisted Suicide"!?
There I stood in the night,
balanced on the ruined pier!.
Me, with my feet in the sea;
You, with your face in the clouds!.
As I heard your voice,
felt your rippling laughter
splash against my feet,
I wanted to die!.
Right then and there!.

You smiled down across the waves
!.!.!.to reassure me!?
I could feel your eyes;
like the tide,
pulling me out to sea!.

For just one moment,
you held me there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is as though your lover has a siren song that is enticing you to your death even as it brings you complete happiness!. The song and the joy are in the laughter that splashes across your feet!.
