Water Wise

Selena Nichols

I have you to remind me why I’m afraid

Of water and its wise deep taunting blue

Don’t believe in everything your eyes see

Troubled eyes betraying your trickster facade

Forgetting your stains that tainted the few

But now I have you to remind me why

Masks you hide behind to disguise your cries

That fits this colored world of red and blue

Don’t believe in everything your eyes see

You’re gone and those you have tricked now applaud

I know what happened, the deep ocean knew

But now I have you to remind me why

I never go in the water, it’s flawed

The soothing waves, I see your hand break through

Don’t believe in everything your eyes see

Crowds laughing and enjoying bid you adieu

Your body trapped in oceans’ blood-red brew

But now I have you to remind me why

To never believe in everything my eyes see
