Shore

You wanted so badly for me to be

A figment of your imagination

only spoken word

not printed pigment

only pin up

not pinned down

in the closet

not on the town

but i am the realest thing

you've ever done

that moment 

when you caught yourself

being you-

that was me

live with that

because you can no longer

push off of me to get to her faster;

to love her more.

no longer can you 

fight this passion war.

stand there with your shield

i surrender,

even put my flag on the floor

i yield

she's yours- an archway

I'm a castle door

my ocean a depth had unparalleled lure

but she's the sand

i'm the sea

and you can't marry the shore
