Poseidon's Failed Attempt
Poseidon hurls waves of rain my way
 But he’s fighting a senseless battle
 My face is already adorned with tears
 Thunder cracks miles away 
 Poseidon is trying to frighten me into going back
 But I’ve been through more frightening times
 When you and I were so far apart
 And I won’t give up tonight
 Poseidon thinks the dark of night will confuse me
 But I know the way through the black
 And my determination won’t falter again
 The sky lights up for just one moment with a streak of lightening
 But one moment was all the time I needed
 To see your house up ahead
 My slow, wheezing jog breaks into a sprint
 Poseidon’s last attempt is a blanket of summer heat
 It makes me wipe my forehead nervously
 As I climb the steps to your house
 When I ring the doorbell, Poseidon knows I’ve won
 The night is clear when you answer the door
 And together, we start to break down walls
 Walls we built while we were broken
 No thanks to Poseidon, we aren’t broken anymore
