She Was Sea

Look me in the eye and say you loved me right, look me in the eyes and say you loved me despite.

Look me in the eye and say you loved me wholly, look me in the eye and say you were fond of me entirely.

Look me in the eye and say it wasn’t my body you attracted, look me in the eye and say you loved me in-fact.

Look me in the eye and say you never did me wrong, look me in the eye and say you were right all along.

Look me in the eye and say I stabbed your heart, look me in the eye and say I let you part.

I loved you in-fact, I loved you right, despite my mistakes.

Today I weep your absence, the ghost of a lover I once knew.
