Become Still Within the Waves

You touched me where the silence aches, A ripple deep I couldn’t fake. No words, Just shadows on my skin. You poured yourself and soaked me in. Oh, the way you looked, a tide that knew, That every wave was pulling through. You never asked, you never claimed, But God, I drowned when you said my name. I remember you were water, In the still, in the flood. Every kiss like holy slaughter, Soft destruction wrapped in love. You were quiet, you were thunder. You were storm and sacred blue, And I still float in that wonder. I remember you. Oh, I remember you. You moved like you had lived before, Inside a sea, behind a door. I never saw your ending line. You were mine. You were mine, you were divine. Whispered like a rainfall prayer, Fell in me and stayed somewhere. Even when you're out of view, I turn to Mist remembering you. I remember you were water, In the depth, in the dew. You were healer, you were slaughter. You were false and you were true. You were wild, you were tender. You were the ache I always knew, And in every stream I surrender. I remember you. Not in fire, Not in stone. I remember you. Oh. Ooh. Not in fire, not in Stone. Only water knew you whole.
