"Submerge"
by Maya Halma
Mine own thoughts for thee did hesitate
Mine own strength for thee did flood
These woes I do hold with utmost hate
And apologies for poisoning our love’s blood
My grasp on thee is so dear, yet so shaken
Our love could bloom or our love could wither
Each breath of thy air almost forsaken
And I fall with strength with thou hither
Oh, but thou art so rare, such a mystery
Never in my voyages hath I seen such art
I must wonder about your history
And if thy unreal love may rip us apart--
Thou must not declare thy love
If it may harm me with a final shove.
