Seas That Swallow

Time has passed slowly in the blink of an eye, Because my heart was wiped away, like sand with the tide. It's tossing and turning in the ocean's cold grip, Asking, "What did I do for this treacherous dip?" The fish start to scatter, the sharks start to tear, Feeling the sharp pain of loss everywhere. The wounds begin healing, but the salt still stings, Because of thoughts on some other things. Back on the shore, before all the strife, He got to be part of a beautiful life. His sun would always shine even if it would rain, Despite perfection lost, he had greatest gain. The sun gave off a warmth that filled him within, And he loved her back with all vigor and vim. But too close to the water the heart did get, Despite the sun's warnings, he went to feet wet. Now swept into water, and dragged into deep, Both the heart and the sun began to tears weep. It was too dark and cold in the ocean to shine, So the sun couldn't see the sharks trying to dine. Rays of truth blocked out, unable to see, The heart isn't the person some have made it out to be. Now the heart drifts around, not wanting to be found, The void within filled with salt water abound. It stings on the inside, it stings on the out, Because, to the sun, he was completely devout. Now once again strong, the heart climbed back to shore, Knowing that the warmth of the sun was no more. He walks around the beach, everything gray, Because now it's only night when she is away. The beaches he now wanders, avoiding others on the shore, Knowing their love is no match to the one he shared before.
