Shores

I am an ocean
Your presence
Is as warm as the sun but it seems like I only get to be
With a reflection
Nobody wants
To swim in the wind
(On a cloudy day)
And every message
I traced
Into the sand
Got washed away
Sometimes
My cries
Sound like
Beautiful echoes
The ocean is violent
I'm frightened
On so many levels
I am an endless abyss

I wish that you wanted to swim
But I know that your bones
Would
Crack underneath
The pressure
Yet you still say
That you wanna know me on a deeper level
You can't swim
Your love is land
You're only searching for that buried treasure
As if my secrets locked inside
Could ever bring you any sort of pleasure
I guess I forget
You fell in love
With the mountains
I guess I forget you fell in love
With the mountains
I've never been seasick before I swam to far and I can't see the shore
