Reflections In The Sea

Little girl, broken at fourteen 
It’s like the rake had snaked over my dream
Then suddenly sun
A light shone saying; you’re the one
And I cry
Though I am not afraid to die
Let me go
It says there’s something I must know
Before I depart
My love, you dove, you are all heart
And that beating sound, in your chest, you know
Is a signal it’s not time to show
And I sigh
Do I ever see beautiful in your eye
In his or theirs
Could this be an answer to all my prayers
And I climb up stairs
To watch Smallville alone
The years before I couldn’t put down my phone
And his sound
Came through on the breeze
He’s like a tree
He is all leaves
To blow in the wind
Our double entendre
The way we have sinned
And then twenty nine
I say, my darlings, I am fine
But I crumble apart
The night before I sat in the dark
To hear the cruel sound
Of myself beseeching the earth on the ground
And where do I go
If love isn’t here
I’ve always walked through
The chasms of fear
That seem hold at arms length
And never make a dent
In the trouble I know
A brush with trade and I am all snow
Or polar bears
Lost in a midnight where nobody cares
That I know isn’t true
I saw the starlight in you
And the reflection
Was enough to warrant a closer inspection
So I hunt you down
Find your page
Flip through it
Like it’s all the rage
Against a machine
I know you like
I’m all mumbling
And hand me the mic
So you can hear my voice
I’m drawn to you without a choice
And it endures
As the water runs, it pures
Out into the open sea
Do you think you could see yourself with me?
