You told me to dive without
me knowing that it's a sea full
of your waves, love, and lies.

   It's the sound of the waves that welcomed my being the period I've to open my eyes, awakened on your chest, hearing the beat of your heart that tells me, "I love you, I love you..." in a lively tone—all are lies, told by your bones; and before I think the reason I'm here, it's me who cannot refuse your invitation because why would I if you're the one who opened your heart for me.

   Your eyes, resembling the depth of the sea, and its glimmer that reflects the festivity of the creature underneath, I would be lying if I say I'm not interested in the freshness you've sprinkled me.

   Why is it so solemn when I'm in your hands? Feeling the harmony under your being every time I've tried to dive into your lies. My favorite part of you is your waves that kept on telling me to go on, fought back, and push through my limits—not until it's a wave of you, swimming away, diving away, letting me go.

   You being so dense, letting me feel the freedom I deserve—that I hate. For if freedom means not having you, it's not freedom for me.

Those cracking sounds that I've heard while I do floating, reinforce my strength, immensely grants my wishes after we threw pebbles on the ocean's surface, saying I'm worthy of everything; deserving of nothing—but contentment. I'm contented of us but it's you who's not.

Ocean, oh loue, the serene times you gave me with the touch of pleasing to the ear tumult of your waves, I know simple gratitude won't suffice but let me tell you that you are the sun that permits a plant myself an opportunity of living—yet you're also the one who triggered me to drown myself after you've drown me in your waves, love, and lies.

   The moment you pulled my arms as we ran on pebbles, I never stop despite the ache I'm feeling; despite the blood that's flowing. Little did I know, you mean it—you mean to hurt me, slowly, gradually; feeling the pain on your sole too, waiting 'til I'm the one who let go—until I did.

   And soon as I remember, you told me to dive without me knowing that it's a sea full of your waves, love, and lies.
