Fish Out of Water

When you sin me again 

I won't even complain 

Cause you do it again 

Over and over 

Again and again 

Now the oceans are rising 

And I just wanna hold you 

Hold you so tight 

Hold you so Dear 

Before all that ice 

Heats up and melts 

Flooding our worlds

For the very last time

Drowning our lives of yesterday

Yet cleansing the new

Refreshing our eyes

As well as our hearts

Forcing our swim

Against the new current

Making it through

Our very own way

 

So now you see

When you sin me again

I wont even complain

I just want you to know

Our lungs have transformed

Into the gills that are needed

To swim freely throughout 

The new world upon us

Fully adapted, fully equiped 

The world was created 

For the swimmers to swim

So when you sin me again

I wont even complain

No matter what happens

I just wanna hold you

Cause we are now here

And no longer there

Drowning in the past

Like fish out of water

I really like the concept here. I'm curious as to what made you connect these two things and even more curious as to the method of how you made a poem out of it! Great job! :)
