As the mountains cause the sun to set faster than it should,

And body’s of water carry more color than the sky

The sight of ripples in my reflection makes me want to say goodbye

You see, when beauty and pain coexist

infections become your fix

but they don’t tell you this when you start to separate deformity and perfection

because naturally you’re supposed to know your direction

which brings me back to the water

such a large mass, deep, a stretch easy to lose yourself in

this expanse of water has never felt so close to my bed, so warm, so soft, so fucking comforting

calling me in

hoping I jump and don’t fight

if I say yes to the light

please be polite and don’t ask why

now I’m not going to lie, I don’t necessarily want to die

but when I stalk the sky in the water I realize I won’t be mad if I never get out of the bath

I can no longer see the sun shining through heights and peaks

which makes me walk the dock so that the water

that’s such a deep, large mass, I will easily lose myself in doesn’t put me to sleep
