Jaguar Shark

I remember the days you said
you'd get lost in my eyes.
It was like watching the ultimate
battle between good and evil.
You said I used words like weapons,
but that's how you use emotions.
I know now we weren't
allies as much as we were
just trying to defeat a common enemy.
But I saw things in you I can't explain.
Were they things I just needed to see?
Like an evangelical who sees his
messiah in a piece of toast?
The storm in my soul,
these ebbs and flows,
these trials and tribulations
have me weathered.
I am just a passenger (Ishmael).
My soul, the mad captain (Ahab).
There may be plenty
of fish in the sea,
but none like you.
