I woke up on a ship upon the sea ,
Thinking I had finally found my sailor.
You had maps drawn with lines and X's marking spots of interest,
And I thought I was your favorite treasure.
Romanced me from land to sea, but turns out you are just another pirate looting girls hearts for pleasure.
Capsized, we've been hit, and you abandon ship,
And I abandon my anxious breath.
Drowning in emotions I become swallowed in the waves of tears.

Storms rage across the waters of our lives,
Drowning ourselves in all that goes on.
You have shipwrecks in your mind you have never shown.
Never saying what you really feel, but I know what's real.
I know it feels like an anchor is pulling you to the bottom of the sea,
But I hope you can find peace with me.
Because although I have shipwrecks of my own,
I'm not afraid anymore,
And I'm tired of treading water,
So dive in with me,
Let's catch a new wave.

You have been wanting me, I know.
Wishing for me, and needing me.
Don't you realize pushing me away doesn't put you any further from the truth and burying your feelings doesn't make you any less invincible. Stop waiting for this moment to pass you by, regret it an ugly roommate, and silence is the dirtiest trick.

Hold onto me,
Don't turn and run.
Give all of yourself to me,
And I will give myself to you.
Give ourselves completely without reservation, without excuses.
Entrust ourselves in each other's hands for
I am the place to lose your fears.
Here with me you'll never have to be alone,
Devotion with me is guaranteed.
My love is strong,
An unbreakable bond.
Together is right were we belong.

In the deep ocean you hide,
But baby I refuse to love in shallow waters.
So I'll step into the tide,
Where shore meets the break.
And I'll dive deeper, deeper for you,
For I do not fear your currents.
Even a tidal wave could never pull me away.

When I realized you were done and gone,
I went to the beach where we had spent one of our first nights together. Drove down the pitch black roads, walked down the empty path. Not a soul in sight I laid on desolate beach. Under starry sky the breeze was just the same, a light drizzle of rain came my way, and I sat there waiting for the droplets to sink in, the way I was waiting for you. I stared up at the moon, wondering if maybe you were looking it too. It was in that moment all I wanted, all I wished for, was to be able to lay on your chest, and fall asleep once more like that night before. You were the best peace I had ever known, but now here all alone, all I have I have is the chaos in my soul.

You shut down as I speak, and my wasted words fall like sand.
You got me swimming across seas, but I still can't get across to you.
Trying so hard to swim against the tide, but I'm getting tired.
Oceans begin to spill from my eyes and I am drowning in myself,
Sinking into unknown depths with my pain.

We were both addictive and beautiful,
We were wild.
With a passion so intense most don't understand,
You held me tight with strong hands,
Always pulling me closer from the edge.
Your lips took me places my feet never could,
Showered me with magic fingers,
Seducing every inch of my flesh.
Bodies locking, so connected,
Breathing heavily,
Trying to keep all our feelings at bay,
We were left blown away,
With one spectacular moment to hold onto.

-Rebecca Cerrone

Crashing oceans, hypnotic slow motion.
Tides rolling onto shore.
She dances under the super moon,
Wild and timeless.
Connected to the universe,
She breathes in the stars, as the wind plays with her hair,
And my how she out shines the sky.

You have a war inside you that's all your own.
You close your eyes and feel your pulse weakening in every moment I am gone.
You try to rest your mind of me, but realize the battle has yet to start.

Missing you comes in waves,
And every night I brace myself for crashing waters.
Though nothing happens except a harmless trickle,
Last night raged harder than ever.
With tsunami eyes,
I woke up underwater.

These nights we spend apart
I yearn for you to return to me
I lie in bed with thoughts of your fingertips caressing every inch of my flesh
Tracing my being, memorizing every curve.
Thoughts of you, breathing heavily against my collarbones
Has me hungry for your kisses against my bare skin
Missing your feet laced with mine
As our Legs intertwine
Not knowing where you end and begin
Only knowing we are one
A locked love connection
These nights we spend apart
I'm missing you in every moment
Until you return to me.

I have been swimming in this lonely ocean of yours for way to long,
And now it's time for me to taste a new kind of salt.
For I should be more than a blimp on your sonar.
So keep testing those waters with timid toes,
Because although there's plenty more fish in the sea,
You'll never find a mermaid like me.

I am the ocean,
And you are a boy upon the shore.
You love my waves,
And the shells I flow out.
Entertained by ripples,
But fascinated with my depth.
Yet you float in shallow waters,
Too terrified to take the plunge.
Too terrified to swim.

You're in a never ending cycle of telling yourself you are never quite good enough, asking "What am I lacking?" What a trick you play on yourself, and it seems you have lost yourself while you question your worth.
Come to me, let me help build you up. Feel me right here as I put your insecurities to sleep. Let me remind you even at your worst that you will always be enough, remind you that you are deserving, and that you are worthy, until you believe it for yourself.
