Arid Sea of Tears
You drown out others with ocean blue-grey eyes.
The deeper they swim-see, sharp rocks await
ready in self defense, hoping to fly-
saving yourself from tears. Just like a closed gate.
Locked away, dissimilar from those you knave.
Dense as water,lucid self acceptance. Warmth-hate.
Attention not recognition, you crave.
Luring lovers, friends in. Always the unknowing bate.
Suppose you: the sea. To whom would you seek.
Salvation or despair, need for repair.
Although you have peeked; to those you just meet.
Looking into your murky blue depth I stare.
To say you loathe yourself would be a lie,
For you fondly adore me, and you, I.
