Letter From Under The Sea
If you are my friend...
Help leave
Or if you are my lover...
Help I can be healed of you...
If I the ocean is very deep...
I would not have swam...
If I I would end,
I would not have beganI desire teach me not to desireteach to cut the roots of your love from the depthsteach tears may die in the eyesand love may commit
If you are prophet,
Cleanse me from this
Deliver me from this atheism...
Your love is like purify me from this
If you are strong...
Rescue me from this
For I don't know how to
The blue your eyesdrag the ...nothing but the color blueand I have no experiencein no boat...
If I am dear to youthen take my
For I am filled with myhead to my feetI am breathing under water!
I am drowning...drowning...drowning...
