We are out by the sea
Things aren't what they seem
The lies that you told me
Become but a distant dream
Waves have started to crash
We knew it wouldn't last forever
Lightnings now begun to flash
Nature's as cruel as it is clever
Birds flee and soar
The waves knock each other 'round
As the sky begins to roar
I am deafened by the sound
Your chilly hand clasps mine
Dragging me towards the water
Only the sky preoccupies my mind
With your tug my steps falter
Darkness starts to settle 'round
Rain is now falling from the sky
Pushed into the boat you make no sound
Lost in confusion, I cry
I only wanted to be on my own
With you I was so unhappy
You're like a dog with a bone
Tireless, selfish, and tatty
We've drifted away from the shore
My eyes, glued to the sky
I am pushed overboard
As lightning pierces the sky
Bright lights blind us
The boat is struck with force
Of lightning, and you fall with me
Underwater it becomes our only light source
Battered around we begin to float astray

Where Shadows Grow
PoetryA collection of poems that I have written during some of my deepest depressions. Some are based on dreams while others are based off of my life. It is an ecclectic mix of dark, sad poetry that I hope you can appreciate.
