I felt in love with the ocean
But I was too terrified to go near it,
I was afraid of drowning
And what was beneath it.
The waves were coming towards me ,
Bruising my skin with such violence,
That I almost lost my conscience,
I wanted to leave
But I chose to stay.
I needed to get deeper
In the depths of the ocean,
Trying to find that desire
Which could melt an empire.
I kept swimming, not caring
I wanted to die trying
However, something got me
And coldness started to surround my heart.
My body was numb
It floated above the water,
Not letting me go under,
Not even for a wonder.
The empire was melted already,
For someone entirely unknown to me,
The ocean loved another
And I was just a bother.
Heartbroken and alone,
All I wanted was a home...
But the ocean didn't want me
So I guess I will swim across it.
