Leviathan

I am the lover 

You are the loved

pedestal high

leviathan wide

distraught, burdened 

I have sinned

I have sinned

could not keep silent 

screamed it from the rooftops 

before my letters

met Atlantic waters

drowned in you once

ever willing to do so

over and again 

over and again 

over and again
