Baptize me in your waters. I want to drown in the depth of your eyes and breathe under the soft waves of your kisses. Let the broken shells you wear mix with the muddied sands of my foundation. They can exfoliate the castle walls built around my heart. Pull me under - whether in clear reflections of sunny coasts or trifling shades of navy tsunamis. Consume me. Consummate something - before it all washes away, before it all sinks and marries decaying wood and yellowed pearls hidden beneath hope, dreams, and greed.

A Watered-Down Requiem for Dreams of You
Baptize me in your waters. I want to drown in the depth of your eyes and breathe under the soft waves of your kisses. Let the broken shells you wear mix with the muddied sands of my foundation. They can exfoliate the castle walls built around my heart. Pull me under - whether in clear reflections of sunny coasts or trifling shades of navy tsunamis. Consume me. Consummate something - before it all washes away, before it all sinks and marries decaying wood and yellowed pearls hidden beneath hope, dreams, and greed.
My selfish ways are probably the reason this ship is sinking, but, please, just hold me, so I can experience some sort of happiness before I go...
