Pond
Copyright (c)2001 Raquel LungIt's cold,so cold-it's getting deep
I'm salty,and wet-as I sit here and weep.
You crush the lights-you make it dim
Sometimes,you stay-to take a swim.
In this Pond of tears-that cannot bless
Boy,your footprints-can leave a mess.
As you splash your way-through my puddle of tears
And drown my heart-as flooding nears.
Dry yourself off-Boy,you look good
As you walk away-like you always would.
Hook,line,sinker-you reeled me in
You gave me bait-then tore my fin.
You leave me damaged-unable to swim
You left the gravel-but stole the gem.
I'll take the first boat-that sails my way
To escape this Pond-for Land,I pray.
