Does the insecurity ever fade,
or does it hide in the shadow
of my bones eternally?

Does the pain ever grow weary,
or does it nocturnally live
to seep over me indefinitely?

Swing your ores through choppy water and dig yourself away from me until you can no longer see my chaos.

When I am a speck on the horizon, turn into yourself to seek bigger storms who will never come.

Finally you’re back
This familiar feeling
Of disconnection
Am I in love
With the man who
Calls me baby

You hold my gaze for five,
I’m not toying back.

"Are you seeing someone?"
"Yes, is that okay?"

Why baby, why?
"Leave her for me," I want to say.

But I don’t.
Girls rule.

All the things I thought could be

Are now things I know never will be

The time not talking to you will be

Time talking to me

Two years haunting me
Waiting to dive into your eyes
Crisp blue reaching depths
Magnetized with softness

Soft eyes, soft hands
With a caged heart
For once it feels like home
Arms of the oldest oak

Display for me miles of depth
Wrap all around me
Warm and fluid and safe
Wrap me wrist to ankle

Kiss and hug
The me you haven’t seen
Tenderly feeling your skin
My largest ocean I had wade in

Flippant splashes glint through
A robins egg marbled world
I reach when I have peace
Running valleys through your sand

Objectified
All this life
I can’t tell
Real from fake
Love from lust
It’s the same
To my soul

Multimillion dollar diamonds are objects too
