you are an ocean

The “hands off” sign has made you more exotic and my 

loneliness has only sparked my 

craving to be touched

And I’ve just been blind all along

Fatally distracted and chased by boys sparkling with 

effervescent toxicity

like poison to an open wound or a sirens call

You are an ocean

Recklessly crashing into rocky coasts

wild waves keeping me on my toes

powerful currents inevitably pulling me 

out to you
