Ocean of Sadness

Your sadness is an ocean

so wide and so blue

but there's no lifeguard watching

no raft to hold onto

 

You're falling so quickly

and fighting everyone who helps

I see your smile

but hear your yelps

 

Your sadness it causes ripples

and not every one is grand

you're getting even further

between the surf and the land

 

I give you my hand to take

I'd give you my soul

and my heart to break

if it would make you better

 

Your childhood memories are an ocean

too big to slip away

but too close together

to begin to even sway

 

And what scares me the most

is that we're so close

that when I see you

I see me.

 

My sadness is an ocean

sometimes just like yours

and I'm reaching out to you

and you offer me your oars

 

and I smile because we're not alone

and together we'll muddle through

maybe my sadness is not an ocean

and neither is yours

 

maybe it just looks so much bigger

because the world tells us it's so

but with you in my corner

it's not so enormous

and it has a shiny glow

 

The things you think you've given me

have given us this bond

and so perhaps our sadness is not an ocean

but a mere little pond

 

and a hope that one day

our ocean of sadness

will dwindle with every ache

and our ocean of sadness

will be no more

and instead what will lie

will be a happiness lake
