Down the ocean

The words fell

From my mouth

And sunk down

The ocean

--

The last time I saw her

I let her win

My wings disappeared

And I had no fear

Up in the sky

She moved mountains

She painted with colors

Her eyes had never seen

The world didn’t know about her

As much as she knew about

The mysteries hidden in my skin

I saw the lifeboats

Blowing away into the water

She told me blue

Was the color that suits me

She said the ocean would worth

A thousand dollars if it was full of secrets

I couldn’t breathe when she said we had to hide

She painted mountains in the sky

She mixed colors with her eyes

But her arms could no longer fight the air

Her strength was taken away by dust

Under the water

She stared at my chest

She knew she was living in the corner of my head

Right there

At the edge of things

We want to forget

My emotions had always been a mystery

Sometimes she’d call me sleepyhead

She said I let everything go because I’m a fool

And that I can’t feel anything without her help

I told her that’s not fair

That I could care about the ocean

If I only knew what was down there

--

The first time I saw her

I set her free

She told me he had been taken away by emotions

Water in his lungs

Colors in his eyes

She told me mountains are like dust

If you believe you can move them

And that all kinds of colors exist

Even if you can’t see them

--

The last time I saw her

I let her win

--

At the center of my head

Is where she now sinks

From my soul to my heart

There’s where she ends

And I begin
