Saltwater Heart

I even have to remember to breathe! 
In my house by the sea.
I only drink the saltwater from the sea.
Somehow I continue to breathe.
In my house of elegant gores, 
in my house by the shore, 
in my house that has a creed, 
with the deeds of the sea, 
which are signed by me. 
This water has infected me.
This lonely water from the sea.
I've let my heart sink so far into the sea.
That not even the ghost of me. 
Could recover my heart and flee.  
I've spent my entire brief life by the sea.
And the deeds of the sea, are my deeds indeed.
