A Mermaid Crashing Into Dawn

your star i'd follow you to the ends of the world even if it meant being suspended forever in the sky promises lay buried in your eyes your lips won't utter, a deep dream that you're afraid will come apart at the seams unraveling moon silver coldness between our love making it emit less light than a broken halo a kiss of leaves remembers me more than it does you, though, it was a passion shared together; how does one find their way to eden when all the snakes are twisting forbidden fruit into our heads?
