the balms and palms and all of what you ever were to me
are only visible to those who thought they couldn't see
I want to tuck my life away in someone else's hands
but cannot bring myself to trust that yours could ever stand
the weighted breath, the solid sea of saltiness we lack
I left because I didn't know if you were coming back
and here I sit, a question mark made perfect in my pain
I want to ask if I can stay but I just feel insane
it takes no time to feel you here beside my lonely soul
I wish you well and myself too, I'll wait to let you go
