Struggling with the tide
I hold on to a twig

Tossing and turning
Big waves crash by
Withering me down
Pulling me apart
Forces unite
To tear me apart

For a while
I almost give up
Gasping for breath
I no more long for life

About to wash out
I hear your cry
Your silhouette
In the depths
Swims by

Blurry-eyed
With the death defied
Am back to the shores
By your side

I no more fear the waves
Nor do I care for the tides
Now that I am anchored
You by my side
