Your love is like an island,
and I'm an outcast in troubled waters,
your skin is the color of the sand,
but I don't think that matters.
Your hair is like the palm trees,
that stand tall against the tempest,
each one a warrior gliding between the breeze,
sharing a different story of loss and conquest.
Your eyes just like the ocean moon,
the ones I claimed were mine,
I prayed to see them soon,
sadly I never had the time.
Your hands were like the shore,
dragging me closer to your center,
and believe me you were all that I adored,
still I never dared to enter.
Your voice was like a mermaid's song,
that washed away my tears,
and although I was all alone,
it cleansed me from my fears.
You are the reason why I survived,
you were my ego you were my pride,
the only essence that kept me alive,
was knowing I had you by my side.
But when rescue came at last,
and took me back to bay,
I remained stranded in the past,
hoping to once more, be your castaway.
