Forgive the grey sea for its intrusion at this hour,
Don't believe its breaking hum that holds such power,
Meaningful strokes sweep the bed where it weeps
The grey sea trying hard to evade those who sleep.
Succumbing to the swish, the swash unfolding,
Unbeknownst to all the dreams its withholding.
The break ponders before deciding on its course
Underneath its caress is a knife that is sharp,
Unafraid to utilize its brutal force
How easy it is to drown in nature left ajar.
The grey sea lies still, calm and unruly
But what of the waves that linger in our paths?
Find them, stroke them, brush by them cruelly,
Their present once wanted, no need to look back.

Ignited by two unwanted stones, we charged straight for one another,
In a valiant battle, only we can describe, there you became my lover.
In not one but three drums beating, you marched right into my heart,
Afraid of no on-coming ambush, knowing that you could get hurt.
No trumpets or whistles did i hear you blow,to give me a warning sign.
No sooner had you begun fighting when I completely knew you were mine.
The battle roared on, they drew swords but you marched to the finish line,
Are you happy now that you have won? Listening to triumphant chimes.
What you hear is not blissful, there are no medals to be had.
Only a poor injured whisper, why couldn't you have been bad.
Now that you've reached your safe haven, is it what you thought it would be?
Could it be that its different?
You don't see yourself in me.

The surrounding pleasures measure me
And all that I have become,
The petals fall so slowly,
Telling time for the passing young.
Beauty triumphs from corners
Of mouths bursting with stories to tell
Who rose to conquer new places
How they differ from those who fell.
Motions depict a serenity,
Once followed with wonder and awe
Now punching with rhythmic nothing's,
The small screen has become the new law.

Did you see what you've become? A consumer of the world,
A lover of those shows for those who long to just be heard.
A breather of the air, so dense, that we can barely see,
A taker of whatevers going, items presumed to set you free.

Did you see what you've become?A product of someone else,
A replica of her or him, a never ending image of the self.
A who, a what, a where, a when, a constant reflection of them.
Don't forget to become what you said you would, be what you ought to be.

Did you see yourself on the screen? I did, on every last page.
A happy, adventurous side of you - no different from the masses.
When did you stop playing the lead, settling for backstage?
Just when social hierarchy is becoming archaic you construct divergent classes.

You are more than you think, you are who you are,
You are the person they want to see.

I have a plan. It involves you and me.
To go to the sea, to see what has yet to be seen,
To be where no other ought to be,
To follow no footprints left in the sand,
Walking ever so quietly, hand in hand.
Reaching a place not stood on before,
Looking out to the night from a wondrous shore!

There is a joy in nothingness, all the way from Donne.
Just being and believing that nothingness has won.
Let others strive for the something's, the battles to be fought.
Whilst we rejoice in the mundane that is so often lost.
When pleasures prove to troublesome, love fades away
Enjoy the chance in nothingness,
Let it help you find your way.
To be, to smile, to cry, to laugh,
To wake up everyday,
It's the nothingness that pushes through,
The something's never stay.

For a brief moment I am here, but not for very long,
Take me for everything before what is blissful is gone.
And when time has past, when we are through,
Know that I'm perched somewhere thinking of you.
Each day that evening light begins to shade those once glistening eyes,
I'm aware of losing that glowing gaze
But taking your heart, your warmth, your years
As nothing but caused me, tears upon tears.

Forget me not for it is true that I long for your sweet touch
In moments of purity it is only you that can hurt so much.
Bounce through my dreams,
Rip up my hopes,
Knock me off my carefully plotted feet.
All of my worth, my strength and my hope
Is gone, leaving me weak.

Forget me not in all of your days
Remember who has touched you so.
Longing and laughing and humming sweet tunes
Making them only for you to boast.
Into my arms you softly align,
Slipping softly down on my skin,
In those few moments I know your mine,
But never forever, not him.

Forget me not, I do beg you
To picture me all of your days
And think of movements that could only be us,
Then we will stay that way, always.
Can I just have one more chance, to declare how I feel
On blended knee I'm bleeding the truth
Telling you how you should feel.
Is it madness to profess such pain, the wishes of mine were once yours?
To shout it out for all to hear
When will you listen to my bowing down
Just say it, you don't want to be here.

Why am I pleading to those lost brown eyes
When its plain to see that your gone.
Is it possible that you were never mine,
How did I get it so wrong.
Will you listen when I say that it is only you each night
That star that we once wished upon is no longer shining bright.
It happens, you know, or so I hear
Love changes with passing time.
Remember the look I gave to you
But know in time I will be fine.

Forget me not but give away
All you couldn't give to me.
Know that all of what we once wished for
Was never meant to be!
