Ode to Jonah:

Jonah gave me a puddle of excuses

As I parted the seas

I, a sea of change

Jonah an admiral of the narrow seas

Quenching, his thirst inside any dirty puddle

A shipwreck, between the devil & the deep blue

Be all at sea in her emotions

While he, is like two lamps burning and no ship at sea

Don’t be as shallow as a puddle Jonah, many will walk over you

Have the depth of the ocean, strength to drown cities

She cries an ocean openly

While his tears are like a drop in an ocean vaguely

Contain myself, drenched in devotion of him,

like a sea of shattered dreams

Seafoam is only whale sperm

Jonah your mother should’ve swallowed you

Worst things happen at sea, be you and I’ll be me
