Christine A Kysely Poet Lyric

For Bamm

You promised me
New Zealand 
in the springtime
virgin beaches
mountain air
loving 
day and night
without a care

and then you were gone

your lies 
were to immense
on both sides 
of the ocean
when you walk 
the streets of Bangkok
does your heart 
still yearn for me?

On the day you left

you told me to swim 
to the surface
to come back up for air
but I cannot
I cannot
I cannot
I am still drowning 
in my sorrow
