A Flooded Mind

Like a ripple on the water
Caused by casting stones
Yes we'll have our share of highs and lows
But then again who don't

The intent is more than physical
From the hand in which it's thrown
It the roughness of lifes waters
That makes our love so strong

A flooded mind remembers
All the pain held from its past
Like an ocean deep and endless
It's where our thoughts have all been cast
Just how long will it last

Till another comes along
And pours their love inside
What's missed is sometimes overlooked
Because of foolish pride

When the worry of what was
Was Replaced by the what could be
Now my emotions flow like teardrops
And they rage relentlessly

A flooded mind holds the truth
Floating deep with it inside
It's the murkiness of feelings
The abyss and then the tides

So go on and search the seas
But you'll return without a doubt
Cause the tides will surely calm down
And the roughness will smooth out

Now pour your love on me 
And let's walk across lifes sands
May the ripples be the teardrops 
Caused by happiness
