Seacrown

I take you to the side

Stare pass the tears as they subside

I try my speech

To best beseech

Cornering your sorrow so

I try to share a smile

To let you know

I rode that tide

It pulled me in

Ripped me thin

Until I swam

Parallel to the shore

This ocean can be calm

This water can break seas

Sometimes you swim

Sometimes you float

On your back

So you can breath

Just as you feel you're drowning

Comes some hope with light resounding

To let you know

You weren't let go

Just extended to new founding

So if a tear trickles down

Try your best to love that frown

Remember your most brilliant crown

That was yours to own and is with you now.
