Water

There are different forms of water (guys) that comfort you but in the end only one works out.

Yeah I was drowning

In you

I'll admit boy

It was what I choose

Wrapped all around me

I wasn't alone

Eyes closed against

All other unknown

 

You slipped

Through my fingers

We were almost there

Leaving this sheltered life

And gasping for air

Standing by the ocean

On your shore

Wishing the tide would take me

To something more

To water

 

Through the cleansing

I thought I'd feel

Something that I could hold

Something real

But I swam right through it

It all became too much

Cause everything I thought I had

I couldn't really touch

 

You slipped

Through my fingers

We were almost there

Leaving this sheltered life

And gasping for air

Standing by the ocean

On your shore

Wishing the tide would take me

To something more

To water

 

Feeling the rain fall

On my skin

Something that missed me

And asked me where I'd been

Not always here but

It watches from above

Evaporates my tears

And so I'm in love

With water

 

Author's Note

The ocean represents your ex and the rain represents your current boy =)

I love the use of Apostrophy. You speak to water as if it could hear you. Is metaphorical. Well done.

Lol
Sounds fascinating to read such "variable" thoughts in words. Liked how you compared the "water" with "love" .. even the words`re painted with "blue" so, it`s, needless to say, reflecting the peace of rain (tears) either through your deep insights. Nice imagery!

It really is a song and a good one. "Something that missed me
And asked me where I'd been" That seems to have deeper meaning. Excellent flow. Soothing lyric.
Thank you for sharing it.
