i see in your eyes
what used to be in mine
a fisheye lens
pretty hue with blurred edges
i feel your heart
the way mine used to sink
into the depths of the void
the thrilling flight
i hear your words
i once wished to hear
ricocheting off walls
landing nowhere
i’ve been where you are
wishing to be your reflection
the tandem beating
of your ever loving ocean
my eyes see only darkness
my heart has sunken far enough
my words have failed
