Seawater

by @kaitlin-mitchell

I was made of the stars But you were made of the sea I was always convinced That through your veins ran galaxies And your baby blues Looked like the earth from space The cigarette smoke on your lips I would always trace In your eyes I floated Your lips I drank Between your sheets I swam But in your words I sank In the depths of your ocean I called out water muffles words from 100 feet down So here I am now At the bottom of the sea Weighted down on the floor Tears are quite salty
