then I had nothing left
your eyes nor a smirk
only poetry like venom
eroding my riddled veins
without you or a wish
to beg for the horizon 
I relentlessly gazed at 
seemed to be melting 

my heart is drowning 
under waves of saltiness 
I can barely breathe 
sometimes I’d rather not 
and you already know that 

day after day after day
they keep passing by
the here and the now 
is out of my reach
and I’m choking inside 
clenching my fists
I know it’s not gonna last
but I’d need to meet you
where our fable ends

I’m longing to enfold you
and kiss till the end 
then go on to miss you 
just until we rend
