Sea of separation


Letting go is like being dropped in the ocean The constant fear drowning, stomach churns at the notion. A constant state of panic trying not to fall prey to desire Missing the woman that lit your soul like a raging fire. Trying to not to think of the smell of her hair Or the amazing smile she used to wear. Doing everything to keep from feeling alone But not being able to escape fantasy of our love being shown. Dancing in the dark hearts pressed together Love floating in the wind like a feather. At last I awaken to the reality that it could never be. Again and again I'm forced to try to keep my head above the sea. Destined to forever suffer at the hands of my own heart As the waves of the sea pull us further apart.
