watching you

i see in your eyes 

what used to be in mine 

the fisheye lens of reality 

the 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 the walls 

but landing nowhere 

i’ve been where you are

and so wish to be the reflection you need

the tandem beating 

of your ever loving ocean 

but my eyes only see darkness 

my heart has sunken far enough 

my words have failed
