Their souls rose and wavered
Through the water, through your toes
They were pulling, begging you
To break them.

With a dance
With a step, step, turn, bow
With salt dazzling your eyes
With a watersmile on your face,

You broke everything.
Every cycle
Every breath
Every soul

You broke, snapped, ripped them
Free
But you saved
No one.

With feathers on your spine you could
F
L
Y

But with bruises on your heart you could
Not cry
As he walked away, shimmering
Through the air, through your fingers
With your watersmile
And saltdazzled eyes.

I'm so sorry
Girl with resolve burning in her eyes
Saltdazzled, watersmiler, beastdancer
Sorrow prevailed.

You broke everything
To be broken
In return.
