Yield your flame
Abandon your amber lips and
Your sapphire veins
You won’t have need for them
For where you are going
You don’t need your tongue to taste
The saltwater around you
You don’t need to keep warm at
The freezing, ocean floor
(You should be more careful)
These tides will come and
Break your wrists
So please, sit down
And swallow your words
Dear sir,
Sacrifice your glow
Shed your onyx mind and
Your jasper skin
These aren’t required
For where you are staying
Thoughts aren’t necessary when
You can’t breathe
Touch isn’t necessary when
You can’t feel
(Take heed to these words)
These tides will come and
Sting your flesh
So be a dear and cross out
Those stray thoughts
Dear child,
Surrender your shine
Relinquish your opal eyes and
Your topaz heart
Wanting is a ridiculous thing
For where you are sleeping
Do you really want to see the
Murky shadows of doubt?
Do you really want to hear your
Heartbeat race with trepidation?
(Don’t stray too far from us)
These tides will come and
Strip your soul
So kindly close the curtains
And enjoy the ride
