Two Places Beneath The Sea

Two Places Beneath The Sea
By Valedico

Tonight, the shore takes her leave

and packs her belongings.

She shall be gone in the morning.

For tonight; our bed is half empty,

and you've bestowed a gift to

the tides - those ivory eardrops

that hung from your ears;

now tired teardrops

that cling to my eyes,

you must be cold

on the pier alone.

A year ago tonight I unveiled

your present to you as the moon

dressed (for the occasion)

in silver too, smiled down at me

and you. Two earrings,

pearl; almost blue,

same as you...

you almost grew

to love me, too.

Tonight, the moon mimics you,

like it did a year ago;

and the ocean's vacating,

packing what were

priceless tokens of what

I thought was true.

For tonight you disposed

of every memory,

for tonight I reserved a

hotel room, as you reserved, too,

two places beneath the sea.
