The Sunken Girl

You're smile kept me afloat on the ocean,
casting my fears away,
but little did I know,
you were not mine to stay.

Our topic of love was exciting,
as you wiped every tear.
But,
you shot through my heart with a harpoon gun at start.

But as you made sure to fumble with my hair,
fixing every single curl,
you whispered the words,
"I like another girl."
