Lovers Lake

Sometimes when it comes to love its like being at the bottom of a lake Find myself holding my breath even though the water is fake The emotions are very real The feelings are life saving, but they kill Still In this water so long my skin is starting to peel I'm tough like the navy, swimmer like a seal But the abyss is too deep Steady kicking my feet My legs are growing weak Swimming for what feels like an eternity but it was really a week Putting in an effort to hold my head above water, I try my best In Lovers Lake I feel like a monster of Loch Ness Happy times like little kids Dangerous times like giant squids Seaweed from my toes to my eyelids Pain is love Love is pain Floating in this lake removes the hate stain Leave the mark of love upon my soul A girl's lifeguard is my rightful role This water is more sharp than a steel shard Wrapping around my heart like a wire thats barbed But blood refuses to leak, only H2O No director of this movie, no HBO Stranded alone in Lovers Lake, without a boat Shall I continue to kick, or just float If I find my way to shore Effect of love is no more Cleaning the lake is such a huge chore When it rains it pours Acid rain in my pores Lovers' Lake water enters my heart's doors Some people who swam in this lake have drown, body goes stale Feel like a trout, in a lake full of whale Deeper, deeper I get I guess this is it I drown Compassion king...where is my crown The fish around me frown Because the sun's rays don't reach this far down I refuse to panic As I think of the Titanic Rose and Jack Their love for each other I lack My life, my mind, my soul I need them back My thoughts are like potion Like fluid from a lake with motion Wait...this is Lovers Lake not the Atlantic Ocean I wouldn't need to be saved If I would've behaved Fell in love to the point I'm in too deep Busy thinking about her, I can't eat She's a positive reason that I can't sleep The promises I made to her, I will keep My feelings are never fake Drowning in Lovers Lake

Richard Jamaal, I love this! You're in a happy place, so enjoy it. Dwell on the good part, for as long as you can. Love the lines, "Love is pain, Pain is love". So true, little bro. God bless you always, with peace and love, Audrey

It takes a lot of strength to take the pluge into Lovers Lake, RJK. It's risky, but we are always hoping for the best outcome. I really admire the form of this verse. Clever style, compelling message and excellent use of rhyme! Best wishes, Carolyn
