Belief without Salt Water

Your horizon burns every night
I can’t believe there’s anything left
after a daily fire like your hands on me
21 years and I never knew
there was a sunset without an ocean
burning without fear
beauty without loss
belief without salt water
and you never knew
I’m the riptide on every yellow sign
can’t be helped now, you say
a voice that reeks with comfort
you’ll drowned in how right you are
the sun goes down
die a little with me
in me and around me
the boy that dried up the pacific
prove you can still astound me
shattered my glass heart
but melted the sand to make it first
from this very beach
I want
I want
I want
a new heart
beat
show me more
beauty without fear
burning without loss
but highest of all the other prayers
belief without salt water
