Oceania

Life escapes this form you possess
Draining ignorance in an unquenchable thirst
Dripping salty tears from the tips of careless fingers
To Oceania, Back where i belong
Without you

Where the moon revives the lost and unborn
Churning midnight tides of passion and eternal chaos
Where voilet thoughts and velvet lips dare to carress
hopes forbidden, In this cloudy clear realm

Without you
Even simple speech is hindered useless
This muddy current

And the moon dissapates to a malignant hope
A ray of chance too far to reach, too brilliant to gaze at
It fades away and apart from this scay soul

For you linger there, in the eye of this star
Though you are a faint, fleeting wish
As i drift deeper, giving into the icy chill of a watery sleep
you are a sweet dream
in a bitter reality

Author notes

to feel completely helpless with love...like everything around you has more power over you, than you have over it. It's a confusing feeling, and everything starts to fade. You feel like your losing control over your own life...even your own thoughts.
