Do you see me?

I see you

walk straight through

my body of mist

 

I am water

to you

And you are dehydrated

 

Your scratchy toungue reaches out and strangles me

Drowns me of my nourishment

You leave me dry

 

But then again, I was never sodden to begin with

You saw me an ocean

When I am a desert

 

But then again, you never really see me

I am the world's open pool to enjoy

Drain

And forget.
