Remind Me To Miss You

Castaway

I shared my love,

Only to be filtered by your eyes,

Like your hand takes my wrist-

Dragging me

Into a world of nothingness,

Where I must wander

As a lost breath.

~

Lonely as a firebird,

I must rise from death

And bring my ashes to you

Because I know no other way

To reach your flame.

~

But if each night I have faded,

Greyed out of your dark dreams,

Then I should not go much further.

~

And we would be like isles,

But it would be on my shores

That you'll read this:

~

"Will you ever love me?

Will you ever love me back?"
