When I wake I am an island
Here I lie in golden sunlight
Which used to slant across your eyelids
Now the memory will keep me stranded
And I see our wreckage on the reef
Did I hear you calling out to me before we lost it?
And I feel my senses go dark upon your seas.
Was it me stopped rectifying me and you?
Still, I wait for your love!
Oh, be merciful!
A sweet vision of your visage visits me before I slumber
It makes me think that we were stronger
Or just brave enough to pry your mouth open!
And I feed the fire you lit in me
And I needed all you gave to me-
And more!
I feel myself toss about from waiting till I know
Was it you stopped rectifying me and you?
