While the water stays level
My thoughts quickly rise
Until I am drowning
Right in front of everyone’s
Eyes but no one sees
Me silently suffering

When I am with you
There is a stillness
Within me
That calms even the
Thrashing waves that
Crash in the concave
Of my brain

Your calm gentle gaze
Hits me harder and fazes me
More than a laser beam
Can’t those gorgeous eyes
Decipher why I am
Reacting so extreme?
I am holding your head
In my arms as your blood
Begins to slowly stream
The fear in my heart
Will leave a permanent mark
So I start to dream
Although naively, that
Love, not this tragedy
Would be our theme

While you are sleeping
Soundlessly
In your bed
I lay awake in mine
Listening to all the
Creepy crawlers
Squirming around in my
Mind
Each night they munch munch
Crunch away my mind
Until all that is left behind
Are thoughts that are darker
Than the night

The sun shimmers
Off the same water
I am floating on
For a few moments
I feel one with the
Sea and the sun
Then the peacefulness
Becomes too quiet
My mind starts a riot
I am reminded of why
I came here
I want to set my mind free
But my mind is a maze
My thoughts are a haze
I am a labyrinth and
My brain is insane

In my cup of tea,
I found serenity
In your gorgeous eyes,
I found the root of all lies
