Offshore

Your skin shaded in navy,
You were a starless sky hovering above me,
You were a moonless night,
With eyes too dark to reflect the ocean which stirred beneath you:
A passive tide.


I swallowed your breath
But something so empty could not make me feel whole.
Your tongue left me thirsty
Your hands left me cold.

Something so empty,
Could not make me feel whole.
