i used to feel like you were deeper than the ocean
and i could hide my secrets in you darkest depths..
and you would protect them...
and make sure no body saw them


you were my ocean...


with waves so powerful...
over time they break the hardest things down...
and form them into something new..
sometimes something prettier....

you were my ocean...


you spread over vast spaces
and knew no end
but now...now
i feel like you have..you have become my river
now im so scared that your my river...
fast and shallow...
my secrets are the pebbles and rocks on you floor...
easy to see...your currents are swift and fast...
but no obstacle for the strong,
who can stand your currents and easily touch your river's bed
to steal my rocks..my pebbles...to analyze and break them...
you said you did all you could...
but the truth is there;
you didnt care that your current wasnt strong enough
or that your water's bed was within their reach.

you were my ocean...
but now, your just a river...
