Deep in the sea,
You are my book--
Pages living within my soul--
Sweet honey letters battering against my heart.
It took blank pages, empty silences;
You were the one that took the longest to write.
Because you, and only you, are the scholar.
The chains in the sea pulling at my heart,
Words filled with unfaltering reason.
Reason that melts into silence.
Honey.
The page you tore out; it cannot be forgotten.
It lives inside of my ribcage.

Deep in the sea,
You are my book--
Pages living within my soul--
Sweet honey letters battering against my heart.
It took blank pages, empty silences;
You were the one that took the longest to write.
Because you, and only you, are the scholar.
The chains in the sea pulling at my heart,
Words filled with unfaltering reason.
Reason that melts into silence.
Honey.
The page you tore out; it cannot be forgotten.
It lives inside of my ribcage.
