For you I have an ocean of love inside of me
emerald colored
with no shore and no bottom
and now you're gone it crashes through me making me even emptier
and it presses so tightly against
my heart and the backs of my eyes
with nowhere to go except for when I allow it to escape
allow myself to dwell on it
the way you'd kiss me on the back of neck
and behind my ear
and my hands
You made me feel so safe and sane and lovely
Now I drown in the sea of what you left me
But I don't have the desire to save myself
