I haven't slept, nor do I want to
For fear of being casted into the roaring seas
And crashing into the high rocks
I fear the roaring heartaches and
Sudden images flashing like lightning
In this ravenous storm my heart slumbers
The tides caressing my eyes to close
And swiftly take me into the arms of the sea
Unfathomable things collide in my mind
My thoughts poisoned with fear
Swept into the cold, tethering darkness
Gravely I embrace the poisonous serpents that
Poises around my ribs, and fills my lungs with water as death fills life
Loving figures turned fiends and
Worser still myself and I
The hurling tides now may begin to calm and
Hold me in it's arms, calling as it speaks
Soft etches across my neck and open beaches
Tender warmth embraced in the lighthouse's chest
Safety and happiness wraps around me, the waves pulling me further into my darkest depths
I fear it's not just a dream, only a dream I cannot obtain
