The feeling in my bones

could only be described as happiness

when

I concluded that I might be feeling that

because of you

the weight of it all

so pleasant at first

but as time passed

my lungs started giving up

all the joy fading from my body

when I touched my face

and saw the salty water I know all too well

the tears turned into harsh weeping

and I felt my face go hot

how naive

of me to

that I could somehow fool

my own soul
