Beyond the Shore
I never knew how deep Oceans were,
I've spent most of my life
watching from the sand
to watch with curiosity is unbearable
Deny, deny, deny.
the Water is too cold, I tell myself,
the Water will pull you under
Riptides know mercy for no man.
to watch with desire is agony
Deny,deny,deny
the water will eat you alive,
the water will swallow you whole.
Sharks are circling. And you,
my darling,
are draped in blood.
I couldn't notice the shore
closing in on me.
Too busy watching the waves.
the sun was setting
and I was out of time.
Waded in gently
Lost all senses
when I could no longer
feel the floor.
Painful familiarity slipped away
And all I had
was uncertainty
I know that it sits somewhere underneath me.
But the bottom seems
endless.
I'm scared
but face first
I dive into the deep.
Your love waits for me there.
