Seduced By the Sea
We played by the sea, come swim with me
you shouted, I was frightful so very doubtful,
she looked happy free, splashing, full of glee
sun shining, water mistrustful though delightful,
where are you, not sure, I’m planted on seashore
panic filled my being, your beauty I’m not seeing
lack of courage I deplore, your safety can’t ignore
my heart is racing, find myself in water swimming,
it’s certainly apparent, I’m taken by your strong current
I find myself lifelessly spinning, constantly turning
consciously it’s self evident I’ve become your servant,
mocking with your waves, enticed into watery graves
seduced now at your mercy, you show no courtesy
your power totally enslaves, my body now craves
life not controversy, though you’ll end my life early,
I see your psychopathic smile, I submitted to your lie
so now within your heartless merciless beauty I die.
