Nov 2011
Without you I become a little lost
Like a ship in the middle of the sea
The wind starts to blow
And the tears start to fall
A full on thunderstorm in my heart
The words crash around me
Drowning me, forcing me under
The bitter tone stinging my face
But your words win again
I flail around frantically
The waves tossing me, pulling me
And then--calm
I feel the embrace of the sun
The gentle lapping of the waves at my feet
The sky--clear, blue, perfect
The ocean and the sky at peace again
