Swimming in this state of confusion
In undercurrents she may lose him
Love has only been unkind
In the backwash of her mind
Feelings washing in and out
Drowning in a pool of doubt
Seems there is no way to filter
Past hurts that still haunt her
Treading water hard she tries
To believe there are no lies
Drifting to a place unarmed
In this sea of love becalmed
Tia Maria
