whenever I come to the Sea
I think of his Hannibal Lee
the love of his life
who got snatched away
as if drawn out by the endless waves
I think of how he longed his whole life for her
Never getting to see her again
though each wave only making him crave
longing to find a way to save her
when if she still could be
she lost it in the sea
for regardless how many times
he dives for into the waves
he can’t save her,
though he sees her in each wave
as they come up and with reluctant clinging
to that prayer he cites
she is the sea
his Annabel lee
just as she is mine
