Plea to the Waters

I would give anything for the rain
to pour down and wash away my pain.

I would give anything for the tide

to come in so that I could hide.

I would give anything for the waves

to wash away those things I crave.

I would give anything for the wind

to blow away the "what could have been"s.

I would give anything for the storm
to sweep in and take away my form.

But I would give anything for the calm

to creep in and soothe all my qualms...
