deep dark sea
would you come for me
take me away
from all my misery
engulf me
in your mystery
would you let me play
just within your
lovely shores
let the waves
catch me, roll over me
wash some of my pain away
would you allow me
to be a small child
and build my castles
right within your borders
surround them with forts
higher than me
i know you'll come
and shatter them again
no matter how sturdy
the walls i put up
in one swift motion
you'll wipe them all out,
let me start over
create another haven
that you'll flatten
as soon as i look away

would you spare me
a glance at your sunset
so that i could watch
the vibrant colors
as you swallow the light
and usher the darkness
so that i would always remember
that you are greater
than me and my endless dreaming,
even mister sun
is no match for you

deep dark sea
would you come for me
cover me with your
tranquility
remind me that
you are vast
and i am tiny
never let me forget
that you are not
my friend
if i blink you would
let your tides rip me
you are not an ally
you are my enemy
