I swam in your waters.
Now I can't get the smell of you
To leave my body.
People avoid me like the plague.
I guess I was oblivious to
How poisoning you were.
I kept looking ahead of me
At the lighthouse on the horizon.
I imagined you were up there,
Seeking for my face
Vanishing in the sea of tears I shed
For I was terrified I'd melt into them.
Kicking through the waves,
I dug deep within myself to bring out
Every ounce of strength I had left
And finally get back to you. Only to find out
There wasn't enough room for me
On that huge deserted island you call your life.
