You cry a lot in your sleep, did you know?
Today I dreamt about you
and me
where I stood it all turned blue
and green
was the place I found you in
But we couldn’t be together
though near
our hearts belonged to each other
full of fear
i had already given my mind
to him
and you’ve given your breath
to them
My hands shaking, longing
their memory is their curse
my desperate, boring
took over me as my source
And as this ship wrecked
it sank you in the process
I forced you to the deep ends
to join its gallery of losses.
I opened my eyes
wet
marked my nails
bled
turned to my side
he’s there
did you say something, dear?
