When We Sink

We almost always keep sinking and drowning, but like the captain of this
Ship, we are steering ourselves back to the shoreline. The waves that fizz
Like the leftover bubbled of popped champagne at midnight and your face
That emerges from endless bodies of salty water are what we always trace
With the hands that start steady fires with just that one small, single spark.
When I close my eyes things becomes hazy, but I see colors and your dark
Shadows. Keep your eyes on me as we fight to keep ourselves from the sea
Like the enemy and the monster that tries to capsize and sink us down. We
Are like the dreamers who are hearing the hum. We are the quiet sleepers
As we hold and bite our tongues until we are bleeding. We are the keepers
Of dreams and hopes while chasing hopelessly in the dark. Nobody said it
Had to be the end of it all. So come on, come on and follow me until we fit
Under my skin where we both are feeling warm while we make a home so
The gaps between us are filled up. We are in a world that is telling us to go
And go so we need to be slowing down. I know that whatever happens you
Will keep me in your sheltered mind. We know the sky is never always blue.
