Isle of Wantless Want

Oh my love

your island was my dessert

and as the tide fills your spaces

so my shame rose into your arms

 

Oh my love

I combed the sandy beaches of your lips

my fingertips upon your beating heart

with my desire to claim the shell for my own

 

Oh my love

I felt your heart beating in the sand

boxed and branded with a new name

I always thought would be mine

 

Oh my love

I told you I would be waiting

along with every meaningless wave you cast away

Those waves will wear your heart

 

Oh my love

I leave you here

Your strength far greater than my mistake

your barrier reef fading in the distance of my ocean
