You claim to love the sea
And yet fail to see the restless waves
Of turmoil
That toss my heart;
I grope at the shore,
Again and again,
For a fast hold
But am cast away by insecurities
While need draws me close
Fear drives me away,
And forever I crash and recede..
Why can’t you see
All I want
Is to know calm and clarity,
Know a love that does not drain me
Of all I am..
Why can’t you see
Sweetheart
That the shore I seek
Is you?
