The Sea

In her eyes, he saw the sea,

A mighty ocean staring back.

When she told him she wanted to leave,

He could feel his heart crack.

When she said that it was over,

Felt like he was swimming underwater.

He thought he would drown,

All this pain, hidden behind a frown,

As he sank deeper down.

In his eyes, she saw defeat,

Not to mention all the pain.

When she told him she wanted to leave,

She ignored the rain.

When she said that it was over,

She took the first step out of the water.

She wasn’t going to drown,

She was tired of sinking down,

Even if she had to make him frown.

No amount of therapy,

Could save them from the raging sea…
