Youth
Our toes,
lost in the sand
The distance
like open seas,
you took everything in
oh, hungering teeth
bodies entwined
shadows in between shoulders
the stubble grazed like cricket song
beneath sheets, a melody of misery
I wonder what it felt like
to have heaven in our reach
to believe in the meaning
to mean it when believing
I wonder if I'll ever feel
more hopeless
than when you said
love is not enough
if this is love
love is not enough
hallelujah
love is not enough
