Love, I Drowned

“I left the ocean for the lake,
the dark-blue waters for the light,
for quiet shores and shallow breaks,
I left the ocean,love,tonight.”

“I’d say you were brave if I will,
yet the ocean’s briny kiss was grave.
Now I’m the fish that lost its gill,
So,love, I drowned within the waves. “

“Love was swift, and love was cruel,
Like the ocean\'s thrill- sharp and blue,
The lake is safer, we were fools,
I left the ocean, love, for you.

I left the stormy ocean’s clash,
for its melodies were meant for you.
I left its silence, calm yet rash, 
But its silence, love, sounds much like you. “

“I just wish you once stayed back,
or followed the river\'s course.
Leave the ocean, love. Don’t come back,
But the lake too is the ocean\'s source.\"
