Layla

Before you came the sea, carried all the light, then it carried me, waves ask why it's you, whispered scrolls at night, who else can they choose, somewhere in the deep, I forget the signs, stuff that makes us scream, even with your news, a power beyond my sight, I know what's to be, love is a bitter feed, it always masks a why, someone's missing deeds, seals honk at the moon, words fall ill at ease, they raise an ocean tomb, I am used to this, won't you rest a while, drink makes you dream, brightens up my smile.
