Swallowed by the sea—
                a death fit only for me
 
A sea of promises,
A sea of lies,
A sea of struggles,
Keep us entwined.
 
A sea of hopes,
A sea of dreams,
A sea of love—
It beckons me.
 
‘Tis so grim,
yet enticing,
and free—
 
Will my fate someday be
swallowed in the sea?

This is good.. But I think you could expand on it... It's kind of simplistic. Which might work for others, who knows. I couldn't get into it.

I agree. Its got a great start but what are the promises and lies? How does it impact you? Why do you stick with the person despite those problems? Family? Boyfriend/girlfriend? I was left with lots of questions and not enough to relate to.

The repetiveness is good, so keep that! I would suggest adding more depth to your poem. I agree with the others: I'm left with questions.
