it is in the heart of the ocean
the strangest beauties live
or so they said.
i feared the waves
so i stayed in shallow water;
my sisters - they swam
beyond the faded horison
and never returned.
they warned us about beasts in the dark
but you were
not a night creature,
no - not at all;
flames dripped from your fingers
and i was drawn into your warmth
i did not realise that
fire burns us when we get too close
you melted my heart
and set my skin on flames.
no one warned me
about creatures of light;
no one told me
it is along the edge of the night
the most fatal beauties live.
i feared the dark
so i stayed with you;
i fled into the arms of the sun
and never returned.
