They say that love is an action
Not a feeling
Then why did I feel that way
Like spiraling down Charybdis
To the sound of your siren song
Your haunting melody embraced my mind
Teasing me, clutching my heart
Until I could do no more than listen
The pain in your voice evident
The struggle against your very nature
How I wish that I could have saved you
That I had borne you far away
But you knew my thoughts
You sensed my intentions
And saved me instead
From the surf of your tsunami
So now I sit alone on the sand
And perhaps my greatest torture
Is standing on the shore of your pain
And crying out to the oceans that separate us
To receive nothing but silence in return.
