I stand here on the beach, waves lapping at my toes
I see space
I see a blue unknown with white daggers, ready to pierce me if I dare enter
If only I could wade out
Just to my knees
Maybe then I would know what's its like to be brave
But I stand, scared
Too scared to get too close to you
You might be dangerous
You might drown me
But the longer I stare, the more I'm enraptured
Take over me
You seafoam
You torrent
Lick all my wounds clean with your saltwater
Make my heart sting
I ask myself foolish questions
Could I breathe in your deep waters?
Is there enough oxygen for me too?
Or have you lost it all in your depths?
The sand beneath my bare feet seems too rough
It cuts into me
But I wonder if I'd rather have your silver white daggers impale me
What would it feel like?
Would it be poetic?
Could the tides hold me better than my own mother does?
Could your whirlpools numb my pain?
People start to stare
At the blue
Where the does the sky begin and the ocean end?
Where does the ocean begin and the sky end?
Are you kind to me?
Why do you torture me this way?
How could I ever love something so relentlessly and chaotic as a storm
We went to a bar and you told me to drain my cup, to drink it all
I drink in your whispers like wine
I bathe in the shallows, my body as naked as the eyes of this blue blue ocean
People stare
But they don't know what its like to love and fear
They don't know what its like
To love an ocean to the bottom of the sea
