Will you be my tomb?

Blue like my thoughts
Deep like my remorse
Your incessant roar
Like my emotions gone hoarse

Cold like my heart
Vast like my delusions  
Your recurrent crashing waves
Like my imminent apprehensions

Hollow like my chest
Wild like my fears
Your bottomless water
Like my salty grey tears


Dear Ocean,
Engulf me like wildfire
Will you be my tomb?
I seem to be tired
Let me rest in your womb!
