This boy.
Child.
I fished you out of the water, then dropped you at my feet,
I unveiled your eyelids , so that my beauty you could see.
Boy.
Of your purity and innocence I could’ve fallen at my face,
but you tumbled over, looked at me lost, and with it died your grace.
Guy.
I asked for your hand, then took mine away,
wanting to see if you stumbled my way.
Man.
I unshed you, I open the casket, because I dreamt of you, if you were still there,
but you got stuck in a moment, and this fascination for you I could not share.
Boy.
I uprooted you, I needed to put you back in the mold,
so boy, reborn you be, for now I’ll put you on hold.
