Ocean

Your mind is like an ocean Beautiful, yet unpredictable One minute you're caressing me with gentle waves The next you're drowning me in whirlpools I don't want to get sucked in But your mind intrigues me I never know what to expect Tidal waves? Tsunamis? Right now I feel a gentle breeze The sun dances in your eyes, reflecting the crystal clear waters But is this just the so called "calm before the storm?" I want to know you Help you But whenever I try, your eyes cloud up The beautiful ocean I love so dearly turns into a tempestuous sea And down I go, sinking under the weight of your rage Like a sunken ship filled with cursed treasures I take these faults and make them my own Bury the curse deep inside of me And bring back up the gold and jewels, presenting them to you In hopes of calming down the sea and it always works The tempestuous sea turns back into the beautiful ocean I love so dearly Once again, the sun dances in your eyes reflecting the crystal clear waters But every time I reach the bottom, touch the sandy ocean floor I leave behind a pearl A piece of myself A piece of my soul Are you worth it? I'm not sure Is getting to know you, helping you, worth losing myself over? Are you worth my pearls? Once again, I'm not sure Perhaps I don't know because I'm lost at sea Floating away, blindly following you away from the shore Stuck in an endless loop of sinking Leaving bits and pieces of myself behind Down on the ocean floor.
