Untitled



  

   I once was an ocean,
   full of salted crystals and rain from heaven.
   You drank me in with every glance.
   I captured you swiftly,
   and swallowed you in waves
   like a ship lost to the horizon.

   But after the searing orb of gold
   came down relentlessly upon me,
   I dried, revealing dust and one lowly willow.
   And now you look upon me with disgust,
   a sulking,
   down trodden,
   vision,
   drowned long ago.

  I know I could grow if you held me up,
  I know my spirited waves could once again cover
  this sickly tree,
  But you refuse
  and so I sink lower
  until the dust is all that you see
  and your feet will be planted firmly over a barren
  grave.

  So will lie my spirit,
  once your great ocean.
  So will die our love....
