Green like the sea I could dive into,
Tired like the day I met you,
With the ferocity of fire burning to be seen,
And the stiffness of gears untended.
You, at the edge of a dream screaming,
Please come get me.
Nearly to the end of the dock crying into the air,
I can no longer feel you near.
The sun kissed and angry waves
Raging on against my feeble fingertips.
Do you remember what it felt like to laugh?
She asked.
The flooded doorsteps and burnt windows of memories
Crashing in on themselves.
Only when I'm with you.
And it all fades,
Quick,
Like the force it had used to push its way in,
Quicker yet.
But never taking with it the pain I feel when you're gone,
Or my desire to never let you go.
