+ Plain Text

Your love
How it burned

For you, passion
But for me, discomfort
Smoking in my stomach

How I thought I could love you back
But I was wrong

Denial is a fickle thing
But there is only so long a drowned man can suffocate before he learns that in order to float, he must be a glacier that refuses to melt

Yet I still crave
I yearn,
To write a different story
One where the pieces fall into place
Where you're more than a thought, a fantasy

And things are as they always were, placed in the before
Unspoken words said in the night the way rain falls against glass
And maybe then, instead of a hazardous ghost in the sea, the glacier will find company among the snow

But for now, it waits
Lost, in a forgotten limbo
Alone, and incomplete.
