Dissolve

We used to have a perfect connection
This story doesn’t contain a breakup
It’s about dissolving
And not looking back, giving a cold shoulder

Test the waters first
For you mustn’t burn
Why don’t you just jump in
And see if you dissolve

You only turn to me when there is no one else
Who’ll hug your broken body
And protect it from the rawness
Of the other side of the water

I’m thirsty
But not for any other
For you attention
For your approval and praise

I listen to your screams
As we break apart
From one another, tick tock
Goodbye, no more sand left
