Everlasting

Oceans course through
cracks
in the walls in my
heart.
Fill up my

with stories never told
and take me
to the
abyss
(so help me)
and keep me safe
till moonbreak.
Let the stars
yellow
green
gold
guide us where we
never thought to
turn but

needed to go.
And the warmth of
everlasting dark
will restore my shoulder
and my belonging to the
universe
and you, who

to be strong
when you are weak
won't have to play as
who you're not
or force
a smile
when you can't.
Because even if I
have

of the burning sun,
shielding your eyes
from its

I will promise you
