You were the tactless happenstance I had the favor to stumble upon. So lost in clouds of judgment and secrets, That you forgot yourself. You are the ocean, So different in each of the four directions. I was swept away, By the one that mattered least. Turned me into a shipwreck, Uncovering my deepest secrets. You saw my fateful dissolution As a priceless treasure. Now that I’m useless and shattered You flung me back to shore, away from you, In your final tsunami, Your tsunami of thrills, masks, deceptions─ Your tsunami of lies.
