Her eyes
A sea of uncertainty
Revealed a torrid past
Of waves not easily reckoned with
For the fervent tide was still there
Lingering on the isolated shore
And the longer he gazed
Into her peridot eyes
The more he realized
Just how deep and vast
The ocean really was
Which separated him from her

Apparently we’re going to get one online, because we couldn’t go yesterday. 😦 We couldn’t go because… I had a breakdown, but don’t worry. It happens a lot 😉 I’m getting therapy too, so I’ll be fine.
