Many sank to the unfathomable depths
Of the stormy ocean in my heart
Never to resurface for air
Yet you sailed gracefully on top

The waves you were riding
Didn't pose a threat to you
As the damaging tidal power
Was your long lost friend

But even before the swells
Would slowly settle down
To a calming rhythm
That would soothe in repetition

You chose to step ashore
A small barren island
Of self preservation
With no room for contrition

Feel my battering on your cliffs
Taste the salty droplets on your lips
Awake the courage to take once more
To the high seas of my heart

Come let us tame
Our ocean of regret
