Poem
Can you see me or not, for I am Lost I only feel salt and quick burning sting Can you follow me into the ocean I know you are used to light, not the dark And I know your hands hold fire, not this cold Please come, for this toiled storm is my home It’s with a heavy heart I label home For it was much too long I was lost I fought for fire, to rid myself of cold No matter the heat my skin still would sting I am only a creature of the dark I hang my hat only in the ocean The sweet siren song of the lost ocean Long since called me from my broken home That was when I was still scared of the dark I was pulled into the night so lost The only words cast upon me would sting I yearned to nest in the fire, not cold Ridicule rained down on my heart so cold The girl with the eyes that sprayed like the ocean I still don’t understand why my tears sting Perhaps they were trying to lead me home Scorched by my foes my eyes knew they were lost They longed for me to find peace in the dark It’s hard for you to see me in this dark I see your lips turn blue and fingers cold I am hoping that you are also lost And you can find a home in my ocean My dearest, do you already know your home? My, how such a revelation would sting It is fine, dear, I am used to the sting You know my heart lies only in the dark I have stolen you from your firey home I hoped that, like me, your heart was too cold I was wrong, you are now drowning in my ocean I have become the reason you are lost Lovers- don’t chase tempests into the cold I just longed for a friend in this ocean I have become the reason you are lost
