Embracing the Shorelines

I am not one to say what this ones about.

My body is a ship wreck

       Crashing against

           Your rocky shores

My eyes are the sky

                Shedding briny tears on

       These broken masts

And ripped sails

                Of mine

 

You are the shoreline

Rocks puncturing my lungs

       And bruising up my ribs

Cracking this xylophone spine

                Of mine.

 

I guess at this point it’s just a matter of time

                Until my frost bitten heart

Fills the gaps

Expanding the cracks

                In your heart

                                - Made entirely of stone

 

And when both of our hearts are

              Rubble

                I am suddenly one and the same as these gloomy

Rain clouds

                Condensation

        Showering innocents

           Little girls dancing in

Hello kitty rain boots

                                On sidewalks

 

And if I am this gloomy

                                Sky girl

My body is no longer that

                Ship wreck

I am these droplets

Hurtling towards your shores

                Eroding you

And your

                Shell

 

I am too busy

                        F

                                A

                                      L

                                            L

               I

                      N

                               G

In love with the ocean

                And his shoreline

                                Blue eyes

 

       It’s a shame

A terrible shame

The ocean and the sky

                Never

           touch

why do you say that?

[Invisible]

I don't know, guess it's cause you're talking about shipwrecks and kittens lol

[kera moondust]

Kittens? Huh

Condensation

Showering innocents

Hello kitty rain boots
that was one of the lines so I immediately thought of kittens, but maybe i'm just weird lol.

[kera moondust]

uh yeah, XD because it's referring to Hello Kitty, which is brand essentially.
