sea bruised and translucent -
you hold the world in your hands
and put it on display for me to see..

yet even you seem far away

i can still look...
still see the
airplanes rocket upwards
into a world
much kinder than mine

maybe i will join them one day

i reach out;
every light is a wish
for you and
it claws into my heart
and rakes it cleanly

like a daylight killer

dare I jump and
see how much I'm worth

dare I jump and
see how much I hurt
