Where the ocean ends
Defines the end of me,
I swim with you through miles of blue,
And then begin to bleed.
Though thick and warm and spreading,
My blood you cannot see,
For all of me is part of you and I am but a dream.
I fade away in silence,
I don’t caress your tears,
I warm your skin and hold you in,
To shield you from your fears.
I wish to truly touch you,
And would if I were real,
I’m by your heart but worlds apart,
So all I do is leer.
Though time is truly kind to us,
We can’t escape the miles,
I fear that if I stay for long,
You’ll take me down the aisle.
And though I do want nothing more,
This fate is so unkind,
I bid my love with a whispered hug,
And remove me from your mind.
