When I look out
at the ocean
and see her light
glimmering off
it's blackened surface
I think to myself
how silly I was to
ever want to sink
into the darkness
and let my life escape.

Instead I should
drink each drop
so that her light
can flow through
my veins and
cleanse my heart;
I swear it beats
only for her, only for her.

And maybe then
she will see what
I've done and forgive
me for leaving her
and collide with the sun
so that both souls may
escape from the bodies
that have imprisoned
them and kept them
apart and that they may
finally find one another
and rest together selfishly
as the world is left in darkness
but their love forever glows.
