What it's like to Wander

Don't Forget

A wall before me, impassive,

Your heart became this oceanic abyss

And I could see it in your eyes.

Before you stood I, stark naked

You treated me like nothing, calm,

In your eyes, all I wanted was to swim.

You would never allow me to swim,

With reckless abandon, your Impassive

Lends not so easily, but you were calm

You dont mind my simple abyss, now,

But only looked at me when naked

I yearned to delve into your eyes.

Look at me in the eyes

Stop looking past me and swim,

And not just when were naked.

Dont be so impassive,

Can you let me into your abyss?

You could be my new calm.

Dont run away from my lack of calm

Take me in hand and, eyes

Like that once overwhelming abyss,

Step into the ocean and swim

Let go of your cool impassive

Be vulnerable with me, naked.

Theres nothing more than naked

That can bring two people calm.

You, no longer that simple impassive

Man, you stare into my eyes

Mine dont allow for a swim

They only carry that hazel-home, abyss.

Dont forget we share that abyss,

That memory held dearly, naked

Bodies entwined in our first swim

Nothing to hold us but your calm.

You didnt gaze into my eyes,

You were, before, bland and impassive.

Ill never let you be so impassive,

The moment you saw my eyes,

I melted into my only calm.
