sharks

your love is like rain on a summer day

at first refreshing but leaving you wishing

for it to soon go away

and like the oceans it fills

that splatters and spills

it is nice over sand and in between shells

but the beauty's misleading

pulling you under for the sharks’ next feeding

and the depths of its darkness

could not parallel

a life that more closely resembles hell.

 

fall down low

with the flow of the waves

as they change

sea, see how you fool me?

 

sir, it is a surface

made to drag you down to the sharks
