Somewhere inside you there is a darkness no one is ever to know,
but I saw you holding it against your face in the light
and it took me in too (easy to surrender)
the moon inside your hair
hums your earthy silence into salt kissed beaches
ages ago
*those nights with humanity clenched in my palms
waiting for the world to fall from my lips*
into the sea, out of me
into the end
I don't remember who I was when you weren't looking at me
