Maybe I was an ocean in a past life Drifting in and out of hearts like old blood and clotting wounds alike And maybe I sank memories at sea And threw overboard emotions raw That drifted to the beach
And caught in nets the pain, regret Mourns over and is swept up back again Failed attempts at revival New swimmer drowned in deep waters ****** him below candescent surface thinly veiled and out of oxygen
Warning signs on sandy beach Hard to miss, at every bend But enticement, loneliness led you in Those vices, magnets, human virtue Lead swimmers to my muddy waters each and every time
