i saw you looking at my face
your eyes were baring down on me
but when i looked
i couldn't see
anything to see in me
i'm stuck and helpless,
stranded here
the water is surrounding me
coming closer
coming in
the tide restricts me,
pressure's on me
the island burns
from
far away
the fish all shade their eyes
when you go
they'll watch you fall
and when you choke
they'll die
but my reflection,
so obscure
lost in the water's shade
baring down
and crawling on me
you're following my gaze
and as the island burns I sing
i'm here all by myself,
with me
i'm lonely,
contemplating
old times,
you and I
the fish are all,
i think,
still passing by
watching as we sink into it all.
the island burns, now
fish are gone
their last tail's flap did fade,
so where were you
when i collided
hit and run,
joined,
divided
it's a sad thing
you,
ignited.
it's a hard thing,
me,
inside it
my eyes still follow
my reflection
and i just
sink into it all
i'm gone
but really
more alive
now, when i sink with Grace
the salty water licks my face
finally to get a taste.
of all i've know
this wet embrace
so,
sing as i shall fall again
sing as if i'm gone
and if you do
i'll sing that tune
for you at your death, too
even from my grave
i'll sing
even if i'm gone
i promise you,
that when you, too
go to the island,
far away
i'll sing for you
because you mirror
me, down to my soul
me,
down to the mold
i'll sing so softly from the depths,
i'll sing from far away
your crisp green eyes
are still,
alas,
lost in water's shade

that last stanza could be a poem in itself
So this is you writing, or Jack writing?
I like it, either way.
actually, you're completely wronge. i mean, it's got nothing to do with Grace, i just happened see i had written "grace" so obviously i just went back and capitilized it just because i could. so i'de say it's me writing to answer you're question. on another note, do you get what this is about? i think it's the only poem i've really purposely put meaning into.
