Above the Surface
Location
She was held captive by the sea
Underneath clashing waves
Deep in a dark, secret place
Where no one could hear her scream
Where not even a salt tipped wind
Could caress her cheek
Nor a scorning sun ray lick her nose
She resided alone in an ocean she created alone
Above was laughter and fun
But she couldn't reach beyond her restraints
The bars around her heart were strong
A lost soul from long ago held the key
Bruised and bleeding
She beat the bars
"I want to be free," her heart lied
The love she lost tightened its hold
She was held captive by the sea
Above was a calm collective smile
As she drowned in despair
Where no one could hear her scream
