tearing each other apart, like lovers do

14 4 10
                                    

the earth and the sea
together since the start
lovers not in love
yet cannot seem to part

holding the sea close
allowing the earth to survive
but the sea is trapped
without it's freedom, is it really alive?

unable to flee, unable to fly
the sea can only attack
chipping away bit by bit, day by day
for patience the sea does not lack

the earth does not realise
medicine and poison are but the same
the earth will crack, fall and drown
the sea will teach it of pain
