Tahitian paradise
By: crimson.bead
A hut over the lagoon
The sunshine warms my soul
Crystal blue water
Playful reflections of you and me
I can see the colourful fish
Swimming and swaying with the current
Playful and free, that's what I want to be
We talked about holding hands on the beach
We talked about...things
Things that I'd now rather forget
I don't care for lies or banter
I don't care to be your blow-up doll
I wanted to know I was worth more than a mannequin
In this materialistic world
Now I know my worth to you and why
you were looking at the scenery
in all directions at once
As I stood by like a tourist attraction on the horizon
While my tears created the ocean
Slowly separating the islands of you and me
As I cried for all that you were stealing from me
You stole much more than you'll ever know,
let alone understand.
Tahiti's lagoons now tainted
Stained by scarlet tears from the eyes of my heart
As they bleed in disbelief that you would and could
steal a part of me in front of my eyes
When will the sea mist clear from your eyes,
When will the clouds block the sun from your eyes
So you can see what I mean?
