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.
