Ocean's Call

I heard it always

Through the rain and through the sky

Even miles away

I heard the ocean's call to me

And always wondered so how you could not

Was it a sign of my imperfections?

Are only the impure beckoned?

By it's deadly call

But I fought it for you

For all the nights your arms held me tight

For all the mornings your warm breath grazed my cold neck

For all the days you went away far and what seemed forever

For all the twilights I spent sitting, waiting for that fist glimpse of you again

For all those precious, perfect moments, golden memories now

I held on for you and only you

I fought the tide, the pull

Only knowing that nothing the ocean promised me

Would ever be close to as good as you

I fought, I was strong

Until that one twilight...

I waited trough the night and to the day

But you never came home again

The ocean took you from me

Jealousy raging it's bitter quest

The worst thing you ever did was love me in return

The ocean took you, and now I blame my fault

All that's left now are the memories of you

They come to me

Flying from the shore and to the curve of hill you came home to me by

That hill and those steps you will never walk again

And I will never see

Without you the ocean's call pulls stronger

I can't hold on

So armed with you in my head, my heart, and my soul always

I give in to the black chill of that vast mystery

That monster maiden that stole you for the cause of yearning me

The brine slowly swallows me in her icy foam

Singing loudly her victory

Now the ocean holds me in her grasp

As I watch her use my voice to sing the others that same fate

I will never see you again

Not even in death my love

For the ocean is eternal, as is the song she sings

And I my love am now as well

Captured, forever apart of the ocean's call itself

I am now the very thing that destroyed us, tore us apart until time's end

Do not miss me though love, for your tears would bring my own

Just know that always I will watch over you, catch your falls

And protect you from the vicious beauty of the ocean and her deadly call

Let legend warn of her song and let never it capture you in eternity
