Such as the Sea

I tell you all my secrets like you might be listening

My words silver dust, tumbling into deep space

I’ve shared with you all of my worries for years now

But never will we speak face-to-face

Do you listen when I talk to you?

As I whisper soft into the back of beyond

Maybe you’ll hear me as my voice breaks through

The visionary, but still, you can’t respond

I remember you loved the amber roses, red

You showed me the stars once, sky black

Racing the rain as time bled

You were lost, not even the mermaid’s song can bring you back
