I once found someone who reminded me of a hidden city
They were as beautiful as the golden walls
And as chaotic as the city streets
And yet I somehow found peace in their chaos
I slowly got used to staring at their streets that shone like diamonds
And the many doors that slowly opened up to me
Till one day
The gold began to rust and crumble
The once shiny streets now became overcast
How desperately I wanted to repair the city that I truly thought I was going to call my hearts home
But alas atlantis didn’t want to be saved
As the water slowly poured into the city
I almost drowned while still trying to salvage it
Until I realized
That no matter how hard I try I could never save atlantis
We would both drown in the feelings for each other
Whether good or bad
After taking a piece of me with her
The city then drowned under the sea
And will forever be the oceans treasure
Every now and then I think of atlantis
I wonder if she is doing well
Or if the emotions still fill her with grief and drown her
In the end my atlantis will become someone else's treasure
So shine brightly for them
And when the emotions come flooding in
Embrace them instead of being afraid of them
Because in the end I have found my true treasure
A place that I can truly say will be my home
I just hope one day you will find yours
And that whoever that is
They will pull you out of the sea so you can shine brightly again.
Please give a detailed explanation about the meaning and main idea of this poem.
The main idea is that the city of Atlantis is a metaphor for a person I once met. it was someone I thought I would have forever, in short they were like my treasure. one day we fell apart and my once shiny treasure then sank to the bottom of the ocean out of my reach. my only hope is that one day they realize the treasure that they are even if it is not with me by their side.

I wrote what I felt in all honesty. I was listening to music and the emotions I had inside I tried my best to put them into words that would express not only my love for this person, but how beautiful they were to me. Who knows maybe they will read it one day not even knowing it is about them but feeling the comfort in my words nonetheless.
