I. Looking at you back then, was like looking at a statue All you had to do was stand there gorgeously And I could feel the whole world leaning in toward me Like a portal opening I saw you well before I ever met you II. When you went down on me I astral planed and became nothing but energy I could feel the hum of your breathing You moving through the dark, like waves in a tide And me, I’m just along for the ride My right hand to God, I testify Being inside you was like being in heaven The kind of love we use to make, was the only kind worth making III. Here we are, two islands Hunkered down in separate waters, Shouting into the ether hoping the reverb harms the other From infatuation to disdain Both of us perpetuating sorrow too detrimental to sustain Our children once born out love now live out their lives quietly in pain IV. I don’t how much time has passed But I know our children miss their dad You and I may not be together anymore but we can still have the best loves we ever had Like the sun pretends that it can hold the night. I’m willing to keep up the façade if it’ll keep our family upright I don’t care about being right despite this fact Our children need us to lie a little while longer so their world remains intact

Separate Waters
I.
