​Silhouettes of something sweet

Silhouettes of something sweet
What’s left of you
What’s left of me
When all is said and done
Do we return
So unceremoniously
To the beginning of everything
I’ve Walked down
Wooden steps
To the edge of the water
My hand on the rail
My feet in hot sand
I was never alone
In fact I never am
I don’t question your existence
Just my own resistance
To what could perhaps
Be happiness
With depth
It’s the depth I miss
Swimming in deep waters
I begin to forget why some
Prefer
The shallow end
Till I find myself back there again
With no excuses
For why
Except I know
There’s more
Still out there
Waiting
To be seen, known, understood
Explored
It’s just I’m not sure
I’ve found it yet
I’m not sure I’ve ever met
What's meant to be seen
And will ultimately bring
The depth
