(If you're thinking that this has nothing to do with love, you're not reading hard enough.)

High tide,
Crash against the walls, slashing
Ride alongside it, be it, thrilled
Atop uncontrollable force, mesmerize
Dangerous pain, scrapes, cuts
Exhilarating, but then you fall
Breathe in, breathe out, hold on
There's little left to stand back up...

Low tide,
Drift above softly, clarity
Lap softly at the sides, a loud quiet
Slow with the current, tranquil
Breathtaking, sweet, wistfulness
Beautiful, and yet always
Peace in, peace out, repeat
Keep floating, keep floating...

Can I choose?
