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
