I have never known a depth
Quite like the ocean your eyes hold
Waves crash and your soul screams in anguish
As you cry another thousand tears tonight
Only for the tide to roll in again with the morning light
Holding more reminders of the grief
I weep for your pain, darling
Because I see my own heartache reflected in those eyes
I drown in the weight of it
I sink into the deep end with you
Holding your hand as we fall
Because I know you’re not scared of the darkness
Or of facing the rejection wounds
You have borne for a hundred lifetimes
But I am
I’m afraid of knowing who I am beneath this skin
Of melting into the pain in order to let go of it
Of feeling through the suffering of what has always haunted my subconscious
The emotions that resemble death
And somehow still survive
It’s always death, isn’t it?
The old continues to die so the new can resurrect
And on and on it goes forever
Until our souls reunite with the reflection of our Divine self
To see the magic of who we have been all along
Our capacity for connection and intimacy and love beneath the ocean of pain
And I don’t ever want to let go of your hand.
