Kiss me, before I forget the taste of delicacy
Before my eyes haze over with the dullness of all that is not you.
Do you even hear me?
          Screaming behind false teeth
                    Dying behind emotionless eyes

          Submerge your head in the depth of your reflection
                    But do not forget who patiently waits at the edge of the bank


                    If just once your eyes did not betray the curve of your lips
                              If once I thought your laugh was pure



                              Perhaps then I would survive too.




                                        Until then I will wait for you to resurface





                                                  ­Or retrieve your drowned body from the sea.
