There was a distant, far away world being drowned in a flood
And everyone who witnessed it thought they understood
They tried to reach the world and keep the water at bay
But their hearts grew tired when the storm didn't quickly go away
So the far away world was left to fight the storm alone
But the water was heavy and its hard to carry burdens on your own
The storm raged on and the lonely world grew weary
Sinking ever faster with the load it had to carry
The distant world became bitter and its skies began to cry
Adding to the ocean below and raising the waters high
When the sun finally came out and dried away much of the sea
The sting of abandonment stayed, and forever alone the world vowed to be.

I feel like I am falling and falling,
but how I wish it was a "fall from grace"
just to know what grace feels like.
But I know I have never spent a day of my life there.
Do not give up!
Not before this sunset,
not before this beauty that goes even beyond
what the eyes can see.
But my eyes can only see fear,
all because I dare to take the first step,
or rather it was dared for me.
All I really wanted was to stay
in a shell I have long since overgrown,
to stay in the waters that do not even
touch my knees. I did not want to step
into a new world.
But now I have.
It is summer, but I am shivering,
and debating on whether to turn on the heat,

Our Lights
A home in dark waters,
Life sails on by and I can’t tell the why from a lie
For too long it has seemed alright
For too long the ships have come and gone
Far too long gone
Some are out there,
waves lapping against comfortably creaking wood, creaseless sails strummed by the wind
Others only shimmer in a rippling reflection, but all of them,
they sail on by
And though they may have the whole of the ocean
We still share in the quiet lights of the night sky.
Can it be enough?
Time has a funny way of passing,
Once, when the waters were fresh, every wave crashed ashore a little differently,
Every one its own tale, stories thrown into my l

I'm just dealing with some stuff and this came out. Some abandonment issues and grief. Not my usual kind of poem, I don't usually write them like a story, but I kinda like how it turned out. Thank you for reading!

That's interesting. I like the comparison, how each of us is a world unto ourselves and the burden that pain can be. I also like how it shows that pain isn't entirely controllable, like a storm it rages without intent or control, and some people can't handle that. Very interesting. There area couple of lines where it looks like you could remove the word "and" to tighten up the rhythm, but I like it. I think it's a good poem.
