How I envision weekends
Never go as planned
I wish to lay beside you
Rolling in the sand

You wade into the water
While I watch from the marsh
Diving down with your basket
I hold my breath with yours

You're waist high in the water
I'm smiling from land
The current breaks around you
There you are, my merman

When you've collected 20 quahogs
We head down the street
You feed your family
I feel complete

I dreamed I was a siren
I watched you from new points of view
under neath the water
you stroked the surface
propelling your board
I followed you down the coast
I tried not to grab your hand
knowing basic instinct was to drown
But I did it anyway
I dragged you down
I tried to fill you with my soul
But your love for the sea and mine differ
you almost made it back to land
I could have let you
But I needed you to feel my pain
I drowned you in the sea
You drowned me in the sand.
