You took me to the island
And each day we went to a new beach
Kissing on the marble countertop
Skinny dipping in the sea
Showers in the ocean air
Mug in my palm
Eerily quiet, look over the beach pines
Search for calm
Bike out in the morning
Watching passing cars
Nothing but my breath
And seagull calls
Nothing but my breath
And seagull calls
Maybe I’m not the one you’d fall in love with
But I’m standing in front of you now
My ego like a bird
You’ve wounded with your words somehow
Do you resent me for knowing the end?
Do you find me boring, notice your own unwanting?
I know you’re no supreme judge that we all see things through our own shit
But I am so vain and that makes me full of it
It’s a lost battle against time against change
It’s a war never won to keep feelings the same
Is this a truth you are still birthing?
And I too empathetic a midwife, hold all your hurting
