My Ocean
Your words that hurt me
Are just a drop in the ocean
You said
This ocean of red
Razor cuts deeper then fingernails
More satisfying
Too see the drop
Just a drop in my ocean
My ruby, my love
Hold me now
Keep my head above the water
Don't let me drown in my ocean
The familiar sting
The rush
The red
Each capillary spills its load
I feel drops prickling, then joining
I feel the stream
This stream of consciousness
In my unconsciousness
I had to hurt myself
Do you understand?
I had to add another drop to the ocean
As I lean, the scars stretch
I rip myself at the seams
But through this work of art
It's easy to pretend
As I bleed again
I bleed forever
Each drop adds to the ocean
The ocean of pain
The ocean of red
The ocean inside my head
How strong are you?
Are you willing to plumb my depths
Or will you drown in the shallows?
How deep do you dare?
How much do you care?
Will you taste me?
Drink my ocean
My pain
My salt
Red raw
Eat me drink me
Settle the score
My pearl, my love
Open, my oyster
For me
Let me touch you
See in through your keyhole
Let me turn the key
My gold, my love
You were the pyrites, I the fool
All that glitters breaks my heart
So don't think too much of me
Don't analyse me
Split me up
Take care,
Take nothing
For I need me too
Don't misquote me
Cut me down
Take time
Take a second
Think
I don't know what I'm talking about
But I'm hurting
And bleeding
and maybe it's not your fault.
Ian, this one is for you.........
