naiad (repost)

I battled your seas now
You’re back again
Swallowing me whole
I break apart again
I’m not sure I know where to begin
I tried to push you out
But you overcame

All the distance
I tried to conceive
But couldn’t possibly.

Because I was blinded back
By the sun. betrayal, its
Your best friend.

Fake your hearts a beat
A rhythm.
I make no sense of your angels
Again
And all that I bled over
All I sacrificed
It won’t be me this time.

Your eyes so deep
Oceans overflowing
Take my heart
Devour everything.
And I’m all yours

Your eyes so deep
Just pulling me in
Oceans overflowing
Oh god.
I can’t get out this hole.

I see what 669 means about the flow - it'd sound great sung. I like the naiad/ocean theme, its a good metaphor. The "angels" part is good, but it doesn't seem consistent with the rest of the poem. I like the ending... nothing like despair!
