When they saw you as a small,
Trickling water stream, I saw you as
An ocean filled with promises
Of forever.

When they saw you as a deathly
Flood causing casualties, I saw you as
A saving oasis in a
Faraway desert.

When they saw you as a disastrous,
Raging hurricane, I saw you as
A soothing rain on a
Summer day.

When they saw you as a half empty
Water glass, I saw you as
A glass that was
Half full.

When they saw you as a transparent
Raindrop, I yearned to see
Through you, but
I couldn't.

You could destroy or sustain life, the
Power rested in your hands,
You made your choice
To drown me.
