Could you forgive the siren I am?
How this sea is eating me.
and has swallowed me up,
body whole, I'm incomplete.
There is no sunrise under these waters.
No end and no beginning.
No warmth. No touch.
I only see blue.
I will not be a siren to you.
Filled with false acclamations and tales.
covered with blue and black,
A beast who cries ink and does not see the tentacles forming underneath her.
I vow to never sing a song that is not mine
to ears as deserving as yours.
Oh, to let you in the depths of me,
every cave, every fissure.
Your eyes on everything that rouses within me.
To be the shoreline to you.
And to never haunt you with the fathoms of the deep and illusory,
transparent words I formed.
I can only look up at you,
beached.
the ***** of the sea.
repulsive and exposed.
Forgive me for the siren I 've been.
