“I was sitting on a platform and I looked down and the earth beneath us was on fire. I am stuck up here. Where am I going to go? It was chaos, but I had a sense of peacefulness because I was so far away.”

His love was distorted and eventually it tore me apart. I always questioned, was he really that bad? Or is it me? What did I do wrong?”

You are the Ocean

I feel like I’ve been here
I’ve been here forever
Held captive again by your watery chambers

You are the Ocean
Dark and merciless
And I am good at drowning

Your creatures are present all around me
Floating by and by
Brushing their cold slimy scales against my skin
Taunting me
Your jellyfish sway back in forth in my path
To the haunting sounds of your sea

I am growing restless now
Time has to turned her face away from me
As you slowly pull me deeper and deeper into your infinite abyss
All light fades, and all hope is lost

I am yours and I will no longer fight
I am at your mercy
Until you release me from your cold and dark threshold
And I can taste the morning air

Until we meet again…
