Analysis of As the Ocean

You my love are as the ocean,
turbulent and gray.
Always coming closer,
yet further you go away.

At the edge of a precipice
to peer in your soul.
Dove deep into the water
towards an unknown goal.

Sailing ‘round your heaven,
I wandered upon the sky.
Glowing stars had appeared
as I hailed the sun goodbye.

Certain beauty in the darkness,
glory in the night.
I cry out, but not in pleasure,
at our awful plight.

Can you hear the sirens calling,
floating on the gales.
I plug my ears, search within,
and face their frightening wails.

You bring me to the highest peaks,
cast me back on down.
Floating through a black abyss,
a queen who lost her crown.

As the tide is with the moon,
to you I have been drawn.
I bound myself to this ship,
 to sink until I’m gone.
