Black Sea

He was swallowed by another.

You drove away into the black waves .
Swallowed by the beauty of yet another.
Keeping your hands to yourself was never learned.
And now I’m left here trying to recover.

Thorns slashed me when I’d open my eyes.
Because it wasn’t you in the space next to me.
I didn’t think I was driving you away.
But the next night you were gone, into the sea.

The sea of music, madness and cowards.
A jungle your heart was to good to live in.
But she took you there, poisoned your sight
Trapped you in a new world of crime and sin.

I could have saved your corrupted heart.
For love is more powerful then the devil himself.
But your free will chose what it always would.
And that choice was just another book on the shelf.

The tears I shed isn’t as horrible,
As the journey your choosing over me.
Because that beauty will only be taking you,
into a black sea of complete misery.

i can relate to this..for me this poem is about how someone you love, chooses someone else over you.even though ur love is true.

I think it is well written, life is hard and we make choices. However, sometimes reason will prevail and love will conquer.

This poem touches on the 'in-between' that so many of us wallow in while we try to figure how we fit with another person. Some people are too scared to be committed to someone long enough to avoid those waters. Nicly relayed.
