Deeper and Deeper
This wave of judgement
can’t withhold the amount of love that I have for you.
It causes me to sink deeper and deeper into the sands of time,
in which our friendship travels for centuries on end.
The only reason to come up to the surface
is the sound of your voice.
It rings in my ears like a mockingbird’s song
for the death of her young.
When I surface, I see you there waiting for me.
I lug myself through the sand to come near you,
only to realize that you were never really there.
Then I sink deeper and deeper into my solitude,
waiting for the day that you actually come.
