Endangered Hearts

Raging black waters
Deadly upon us
Cliffside now crumbling
I’m helplessly tumbling

Forethought depression
Forgot aggression
I still remember
The chill of december

An ocean forever
Darkness the weather
Dead stars are burning
My heart once more turning

The life in me yearning
An instinct returning
Death is a lifetime
Alone without sunshine

Raging upon us
Deadly black waters
But love forged from danger
Keeps hatred a stranger
