In limbo, I lie, preparing for the war
That will rage within, the moment your eyes grow cold.
My heart will surely shrink back
To its infinitely negative proportions
As it rests, frozen, out in the bay.
You can find the rest of me
Afloat among the ashes of yesterday.
I swoon and shudder along the perils of self-defeat
It's chaos in the breakdown
The beauty in the isolation of retreat
That keeps me reaching for stars
As they flutter along a depth I once knew.
Scraping sky in hopes to find the sun
Where I first found you,
As I fall, in plain sight
Before your very eyes
To where the ocean meets the sky.
