When they saw you as a small,

trickling water stream, I saw you as

an ocean filled with promises

of forever.

When they saw you as a deathly

flood causing casualties, I saw you as

a saving oasis in a

faraway desert.

When they saw you as a disastrous,

raging hurricane, I saw you as

a soothing rain on a

summer day.

When they saw you as a half empty

water glass, I saw you as

a glass that was

half full.

When they saw you as a transparent

raindrop, I yearned to see

through you, but

I couldn't.

You could destroy or sustain life, the

power rested in your hands,

you made your choice

to drown me.
