Just Like The Sea - Tumblr Posts

just like the sea

just like the sea, I drown in your eyes

your eyes of blue, green, and gold

your fluid grace as you come near then pull back

and all of your secrets untold

my blood is burning, rivers of poison,

my heart a great tree you so swiftly felled

down I fell, cradled in your arms

yet so gently I was held

just like the sea, your temper was slow

yet I was caught in your storm

tossed aside and half-drowned

until I crawled back home

just like the sea, crashing against stone

the stone of the walls of my mind

cracking, crumbling, tumbling down

as our fingers intertwined

yet just like the sea, I couldn’t see

the true depth of your heart

beyond the surface of those waters

so deep I sank as I fell apart

so just like the sea, I chased the horizon

chasing after your heart

yet as sun set and darkness came

no stars guided me out

just like the sea, you are wild

uncontrollable by people like me

and perhaps that’s why I fell so hard

for those eyes just like the sea
