In the Water

Each stolen glimpse of you cuts deep,
Too short to hold, too swift to keep.
My sorrow hardens into pearls,
And fills the silence of my world.
I haunt the reefs where moonlight dies,
And wear your name beneath my cries.
The church bells drown beneath the foam,
Yet still I dream to call you home.
I bite my tongue, I spare your fate,
I let your fragile ship escape.
But one black night I'll call the wave,
And drag you down beneath the grave.
I know your lungs were made for air,
Not for the drowning depths I bear.
Yet if the world won't let us be,
Then you will sleep below with me.
With me.... my love
Forgive the storm, forgive the sea,
Forgive the beast you made of me.
If love must bloom where sailors drown,
Then wear my kiss like iron crown.
