Letting you go
You, a precious pearl, slipped out of my grasp
Lost in jar of seashells, beyond my clasp
So far far away from the shore's dry sands
Beyond the endless pier out of my hands

You, a shooting star, granted my wish yet
When I shut my eyes, all blue does is threat
This narrow pier comes with caution with care
Just one wrong step, one wrong move leads despair

You, an irresistible illusion
Stole the nearest supply in conclusion
The ocean gives and so the ocean takes
Then holding on my love, adds my mistakes

Slowly drifting off with the hefty tides
So hard to deny, blue tows me, besides

You, a fragile fish, from the gratis sea
Never belonged in my tank, go be free
Like the Titanic sinking further down
Resigning with blue, merging as I drown

You, a hoax hollow, holds this poem tight
Fading away like the blue ink at sight
An abyss of tears lead my rock bottom
My glum soul amends like spring to autumn

You, a slow silhouette don't realise
How breathless it is in the smog of lies
The blue swallowed me whole, I can't give in
For there's hope, a coast, I can't let it win

Eyes opened to the pier's promising dawn
As I continue to walk and move on

Haiku: Swallow beyond reach
A moment of acception
Depression my friend
