Dear,
How deep and dark does this road go?
When you say you know love
do you mean it?

The shadow of you
at night
longer than it ever was,
obscures my sleep.
Heart hammering
Full stop.
Crashing into your depths
Drowning in the shallows.
Forgive me.

I want to tiptoe across your bones
Wade into your lungs
As you sigh
And speak to me
As if in tongues.
