The Sea

Tears roll down my face

Thunders crash my ears

I have been birthed a mistake

Is it wrong to not face my fears?

Never did I realize the power

Never did I ever fathom

That a word can have ripples

Tides to swallow me phantom

I thought I deserved the world

But not once did I even wonder

If the world thought the same

To not have my hopes render

It took only seconds to say it

It will now take me a lifetime

To think that maybe I might

Be worthy in a corner and a dime

Is it wrong I wanted to be loved?

In those feelings that I owned

Now they provide no anchor

No lifeboat to ride me ashore

I swam to be in the hopefuls

Now I drown in the cusp of pain

Maybe my disappearance would be easy

Not that you really wanted me here

Or maybe it would drive you crazy

Though I will never know your tears

I think a thousand thoughts

All of them more terrible than the last

But you won't know what I face

You forgot what you said

But I will live by its taste

And maybe my death won't be your despair
