and i'll tell you what you missed when the ocean met the sky.

i map roads on your bare
back, plains rising and falling
while you have good dreams.

(are they good dreams?)

i stop at the edge of the wastelands
and deserts i created,

(and goddamn my hands are burning)

great masses of land that i'm sure
used to be oceans and oceans of you,
ambitions and idealisms waiting to

float on.

(and i am just burning among these things
that i've turned to ashes, these salty dreams)

i wish

i wish i could drown in your warm skin;
i wish i could drown in your warm breath;
i wish i could drown in your warm smile.

(—but instead i'm burning,
and the flames are so, so cold)

you don't know it,

riza

but you set my whole
goddamn universe on fire

(when i burned you).
