Your eyes consume me,
Their blue shade like waves of a tsunami on the shore of my heart,
Devouring every inch of it,
And engulfing my soul,

And suddenly I am swimming helplessly,
trying my best not to sink into your depths,
Because although I desire too,
There is far too much rubble and debris,
And if I were to attempt to reach the bottom,
Or even just try to see,
I would surely drown,
So I must stay on your surface.
I wish I did not fear drowning.
