There is never a rhyme to how it happens. Your body moves like a wave, only to freeze, My naive desire sinks, deepening with the cracks in my skin. You are the stillness of a lake. I am the silent pier where knots are tied to secure your vessel. Climb atop, and step with confidence. I will hold you -- for a time, anyways. Leave me in disrepair, my mercy howl to the sands of time. Here, I will surely rot and slumber.
