Let me be your city and get lost in me
Look into my eyes and pull me in your sea
I’ll drink in your waters, you’ll take in my lights
Lose the maps, I will light up your darkest nights
Don’t drown me in your dark depths, we’re meant to be
I’ll swim further in you and know that I’m free
You thrash me around with every violent wave
Quench my thirst for you and still more I will crave
You’ll find that I’m more than a land of lost dreams
The danger in my alleys is more than it seems
Through every storm you command, I will be brave
Someday you’ll learn that I am not yours to save
But you swallowed me whole and spit me back out
You let our love slip and invited in doubt
You decided my streets were far too lonely
Your ocean was vast and full for me only
I washed ashore and my absence caused a drought
Now you’re an empty, dry desert left without
You fill yourself with tears, hoping I’ll jump in
Anything just to feel the warmth of my skin
I’ve closed the dock that leads to you and waved bye
All we share is the same past and the same sky
Filled with awful regrets and every last sin
I still hear waves crash when I begin again

Author Bio: My name is Melany Deniz, but I submit my work under the name Melany Moon. I’ve lived my whole life in Tampa, Florida until recently when I moved to Seattle, Washington. I am a mother of three beautiful children with my oldest being diagnosed with autism at age six. I started a blog with mostly poetry. I want to leave behind my collection of thoughts so one day they can read them and know just what kind of woman raised them. I’ve written my first book and am seeking publication now. I’ve also put together a few other book ideas and am currently working on the sequel to my first book. I hope my words inspire many women out there to love hard and live free.
