You are an Island

My heart beats into the night,

Like a wild black stallion,

Hoofs beating against the pavement,

The discriminating fog seeks me out,

And surrounds me like a wall of fear,

My eyes are blinded by the burning sun,

My enemy of day,

I can only hear you calling to me,

I swim in the waters of sharks,

I wear a shark mask,

They do not recognize me,

For it is easy to hide in a crowd,

You are an Island,

I fall like a wave into your shores,

And I am one with you.
