Fully clothed, I dove in head first
Sure you would follow
No need to look back was my thoughtful curse
Emerging, though, my heart grew cold and and hollow

You never even grazed the broken waves
Unstilled by my dive
Holding my breath while my soul caves
Seeing that you chose not to arrive

Caught in your once loving current
I chose to tread
My heart to you I once lent
Now drowns until pronounced dead

Begging for calmer seas
Only got me so far out into your waves
Getting cut and hurt by your violent reefs
Yet my heart yearns to stay

I could've swam your ocean forever
Held my breath and gone below
Calmly content underwater together
Running out of breath was unknown

I want to swim more
But your waves still thrash
So I will stay ashore
While your calm water continues to thrash
