salt water

Salt water scars,
The kiss of the sea-
I went to the ocean
And you saw all of me.

Traced a line in the sand
But you washed it away,
Consumed me inside
The crash of your gaze.

I can't hide from the ocean,
So wide and so deep-
Gash in the land
On the globe of my skin.

With your tender touch
Made smooth and made free-
Somehow we're made new
When the old is simply seen.

  1. Avoid "so", and in "so wide"; anyone can say that! You're not to be just anyone.
