Sea Place/Dark Place
Love can be similar to the midnight zone,
A dark place where no sunlight reaches,
Carnivorous sea life lurks there,
And survival is the most important thing.
There was a point,
When I was a small fish in the midnight zone.
A gulper eel came and took a bite out of me.
Slowly I drifted away from the sunless place.
Out in open waters I was a cuttlefish.
Always changing colors to survive,
To blend in,
To not get hurt again.
Slowly I started to feel more like a lionfish,
beautiful in looks but deadly in sting.
