Salty Heart
One should only fear drowning if they continue to choose not to learn to swim. Love is no different.
I tested the waters and crossed the depths,
to discover a world that cannot be kept.
Over the waters and beyond the seas,
lies a buried treasure that would bring me to my knees.
Blinded to the litter cluttering the once pristine shores,
I believed that the sun that shone through your pores.
The seagulls came and failed to leave and put their squarks to rest.
The breeze got cold and without warmth I found detest.
The blue I found in my own heart
Matched that of the ocean and I need a new start.
I created a love deeper than the ocean.
An endless space; far, wide and open.
But unfortunately for you and yesterdays me,
Loving you is like removing the salt from the sea.

Here I am, and here I'll stay;
Like the moon in the darkness that refuses to fade.
Clouds will cover, but cannot take from my reign;
Mark this as the moment that they realise, as they scoff with distain.
They fell asleep, I cannot be blamed.
