I think of you, and I think of sirens

I think of you, and I think of sirens

But not of shipwrecks. Of lighthouses

But not of dark shores. Sometimes, I

Think so much that it hurts,

And then I stop thinking.

I think of you, and I think of sunshine

But not of night. Of the moon

But not of the tides. Sometimes, I

Want to sit by the ocean

And swallow it whole,

And then I stop crying.

I think of you. I think of you.

I see the world,

And I think of you.
