swimming at night
we’ve dug this hole
the water’s fine
i wonder how far down it goes
down it goes
the stars above
have lost their shine
and so, my love,
departs our sight
the unending plains
project a void
where lovers gawk
in pantomime
shallow means, deep ends
when the regret sinks in
pressure erupts – which way is up
swimming at night
we’ve finally hit bottom
swallowing promises back into our lungs
losing direction of our affections
down it goes
