Dance of the Ocean

I wasted away
In the palms of his hands
Drew the ocean closer to me
And flooded these lands.

He couldn't understand
My incessant need to drown
The overbearing sound of my cries
A heavy burden carried in my crown.

I take pride
In the waves that roll them under
The fools who will not taste my purity
Suffering under the roars of my endless thunder.

You seem revolted
Watching me cleanse the earth of its smut
Forcing my way into the lungs of man
The doors to freedom tightly shut.

I wait patiently
To be the one who dominates your fears
To suffocate you in my unwanted arms
And watch you cry my boundless tears.

Watch me dance
In my blood-soaked wedding dress
Crashing down into rocks, collecting shells
Come admire this strange & beautiful mess.

I find peace
In forever chasing you on my ocean floor
I find blissful comfort
In the walls that keep us in this war.


I wasted away
In the palms of your hands
Draw the ocean out of me
And let me flood your sands.
