Silently still
I wish to dwell inside
the remnants of your stacked mortar
I will remain stagnant in the surplus
of absence you send me
I will remain clutched to hope
as it bends and twists my heart
along your jagged edges
I will remain steady in these raging waters
that drag you away
I will remain in the currents
as they whisper your ebb and flow
I will remain in the shadows of your doubt
that swallow our love alive
regardless
I will forever
remain
