Blue Orchids

Water fills every gap

Sealed beneath the lowest forms

Of contact

Push and pull around my ribs

Blue orchids leave marks around my skin

Wait for the final snap

(As you drift farther from my grasp)

Buildings shake with every breath

Grounds reform into new continents

You haven't touched, haven't settled

The bottles of letters from former lovers

You missed the most

(And I wish you knew)

(You loved) them more than you could ever love me anyway
