And then you are underwater

The feathery opalescent haze

Coiling bony palms around your ankles

Depths and disaster and kisses you never meant to mean goodbye

I hold your aura in my arms

Clutching and begging you to come home

Phantoms of forever rotting in my chest like

Knotted rope and boiling water

How dare you?

How could you?

Who are you?

Come home.
