Edvard Munch, Melancholy Man and the Mermaid

hear me out or don't
  it matters not
 ~ this recall 
   isn't 
       due 
      to promises 
          made to you
for in the far away mind
   weighted and still
spaces clear
       light comes in
 not at my command 
   but regular enough
the line of sight 
    goes elsewhere
  I wait 
    to be discovered
  shake this burden
    from 
   my 
    shoulders
          open my eyes
     to what lays 
before me
    mortal coil 
       versus a lungful of water
   or vice versa
             vision blurs regardless 
   but I don't breathe out

       all that is beautiful 
    is in the space between us 

        beyond arms reach
     beyond hold
            beyond thought 
       I sit with my head in my hands still
   conscious of all that is impossible 
could the haze breach my nothingness
     though you lay and wait 
        I'm too solidly in view
           I need to disappear a little
