Analysis of In an ocean of emotion
We saw the ocean kissing the shore.
Never weakened, two perpetual souls.
We too wished for such lasting love, an abode for us, to live forever.
We set for our journey in our little boat sturdy, sailing these waters unsteady.
We knew it won't be easy, and at times things got shaky, yet we paddled as one promptly.
We sailed for so long gently, afar we could see our little castle, waiting.
Mammoths of waves gushed out of the blue, in a storm we're stranded, struggling to live.
Our little castle just fell, taken by the blue.
I know I'm tired and you're too.
Paddle a little longer, maybe we'll make it ashore.
But fate tore us apart, leaving this hole.
Our little boat is sinking, we are barely afloat.
We tried to mend it, but things fell apart.
I kept my silence, while you let your emotions sink in, and I drowned in mine.
