Sweet moments, soft moments,
The world seems to fall apart.
He whispers, and he listens.
The sea that stole my heart.
Raindrops fall in tears of salt.
Acid down my face.
Waves that rock me back and forth
Floating into space.
Sand and shells beneath my feet.
Wind whispers in my hair.
He speaks so softly in my ear,
He pulls me from despair.
Secrets in the depths of time.
A girl who has no fear
Of that old sea which stole her heart
And drank in all her tears.
A little girl with dreams of light.
She has curls in her hair.
She splashes in a sea of night,
They make a perfect pair.
She is in sweet bliss of ignorance
As he takes her heart to his depths.
She has not yet discovered the aching space
Of what was not meant to have left.
He holds her in his arms and sings.
The lullaby imprinted inside her.
She sleeps with salt-wind on her face,
Safe where none can find her.
What cruel sea is this that stole
The heart of childish bliss?
He does not give back that which he takes,
So she stays forever his.
Years have passed, ignorance gone,
And yet she has no regrets.
A heart, once given, is not given again,
And the sea has no love to forget.

i really what you wrote here, it's very powerful, and seems to be about the passage of life, and love, how very cooli'm not sure how to fix it, maybe because some parts rhyme challange yourself to make the whole thing do it, but it works as it is very well

It's the imperfections that make it beautiful... it feels honest and unplanned... just your thoughts rolling on like the waves... Love it!
