The Water

I came to terms with the water,

and how you left me to drown.

I came to terms with the water,

‘cause I swam myself around.

I watched you leave on your boat.

And sail away with my love and all my hope.

Incomplete, yet set free.

How’d I let you get this hold on me.

I came to terms with the water,

and the current that you formed.

I came to terms with the water,

‘cause I was all I needed, and more.

I’ll never forget the water’s pull,

as it tried to suck me under.

I’ll never forget your smile,

your pure amusement, or your wonder.

I came to terms with the water,

and the sharks swimming at my side.

I came to terms with the water,

‘cause in the end, it wasn’t fear that kept me alive.

They waited just like you, 

for a drop of blood or two.

I never once gave in,

and let you all stay in suspense.

I came to terms with the water,

and how I made it my friend.

I came to terms with the water,

as I’m bound to swim in it again.
