He fought, he resisted,
And made it back to shore
While I remained helpless,
Chained down to the seafloor.
He embraced the light
And fled from the darkness.
I wallowed in the shadows,
Amid the carcasses.
Clarity rescued him,
But why did it leave me?
I also have the right
To fly high and be free.
You woke him up gently
With all the love and care.
So why did I wake up
To a man-eating bear?
You welcomed me with screams
And ear-splitting cries,
As you greeted him with songs
And your sweet lullabies.
He made it out alive.
He was safe and secure,
But you left me half-dead
With no aid and no cure.
You sent angels to find him
And bring him back home,
While you banished me to deserts
And places unknown.
You gave him a ticket
To ride the express train.
He escaped the land of dreams
Without an ounce of pain.
I was lost in deep slumber
While he stood wide awake.
He basked in the sunlight
As I drowned in the lake.

One cannot deny that it's scary as well. I hate murky or simply opaque water, since you never know what's underneath or what monsters lie beneath the surface. One slip up is all it takes to make you drown.
The water is beautifully terrifying, which makes it such a great inspiration for poems!

ΠοίησηPeople say love is blind, but I beg to differ. Love isn't cruel; love is kind. Love will free you. It'll open your eyes. However, lust is a thick fog that'll cloud your head. It's something that'll wake up the monsters under your bed. Desire is like...
