king of the sea

Do you ever think about me?

Do you ever let your mind wander

About me?

Or do you shut it down?

Pretend that it never happened?

Like I never existed?

Because I think about you

I let my mind wander

I guess that makes me weak

And I try to shut it down

I try to pretend that none of it ever happened

That you never existed

But I can’t

I thought you were so special

I put you on a pedestal

I gave you a crown and a throne and called you my ruler

And all you did was look down on me

And call me a peasant

I compared you to the ocean

The deep blue salty sea

And all you did was call me shore

The part of the shore that is taunted by the waves lapping at the shoreline

The part of the shore 

That never sees the ocean

The type people hate to walk across

Because it burns the bottom of their feet

People visit the ocean

They don’t visit the sand

They play with it

Making it whatever they want it to be

And when they’re done

They demolish it

Just like you did to me
