How long will love flow like the ocean in me?
How many tears are left to fill it over and over
Keep it rushing faithfully
Senselessly
Shamelessly
Predictably
To you
How long will my heart be controlled by the moon
Doing what damage to those who build too close
It wants, raging dutifully
Ruthlessly
Unapologetically
Inevitably
For you
How long will I wait for you to walk my sands
That were once immortal unbreakable stone
I'm always here, replacing tirelessly
Impossibly
Undauntedly
Amazingly
The past
With you
Write your name in me.
