Lost

The water calls out Needing to take your hand But I know how it ends So come back to dry land. Drifting out further You can’t feel the bottom Tears mixed with waves The moment’s getting solemn. The ocean hugs tightly You don’t want it to let go I beg you to come to me But you’re not done though. The horizon tempts you The shore is too safe I throw you a lifeline And urge you to have faith. Your view is beautiful Hypnotic and enticing I stare in disbelief At all you’re sacrificing. I’ve done all I could Trying to protect you We all saw the potential Everyone except you.
