It was never the way
Never the time
Never the moment to say it.
As shadows crossed through you,
and waves battered your frail body,
I could not take away…remove,
you know. You do.
Floating on notes, caught in the beads
of nature’s breath, we sat and locked eyes.
Your tempest revealed itself to be a murky one.
One I loved to wade into,
time and time again.
Just about keeping my head above the water.
Escaping death by an inch.
You led me to a pit laced with fireflies,
spiked with hidden piranha bits…
saturated with the others you
Led down your path.
Into your den.
Into the pit.
It was never the time,
Never the moment to say it,
So I won’t.
