Let me lie my body beside her in the ocean. A stumbling heavy sway crashing me to my knees.
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
Let me rest for a little while, curled at the bottom of the sea, close my eyes.
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me.
“I’ve missed you. Neptune.”- I’ll whisper to her like a drunk too tired to fight.
She won’t speak, shush or hush me. Just pull me in tight. Hold my breath for the night.
Don’t let me wake until morning.
Pulling her heavy hands down my face, my lips blue from her kisses.
I’m begging for one night more. She holds me.
And one night more. She holds me.
Just one night more. She holds me.
