seas.

ever falling

blithely
but
could not ask
but be by my side.
my arms reach
you never cry

skin so warm
talking about death
static and indefinite
i found out
no one was sleeping
be placed in a cell
someday was perhaps
where would never be questioned
harm
was a distance
lighted when eyes close
to absolution

contemplate how
noticing
you have been loved
and
it is only me.
but
mercy..
oh so mercy
how it is to pertain
be it never you in pity

pray still you see
the darkness
holds so deep
he never wakes
calm and so ever waiting
he is me.
frost-fingered
into underground seas
