Your kisses always tasted too salty for me

as if you had more tears

than love to give

 

But now I know you have ocean water

instead of blood

dark secrets hidden under your soft skin.

 

you can’t run from me

 

I feel your depth as I touch your lips

My own death as I drown in your saliva

searching for the truth

your truth

your mysteries

 

I’m a teardrop in your high tide

Looking for your ocean

A sea of promises and lies

In your perfectly blue shade of brown

 

And as your sweat runs through my body

I feel your waves

Crying for forgiveness

 

Can’t you see?

I am also on my knees
