I was once untainted,
flowing with purity
but empty.
Until you came and
poured yourself into
reflections created
in my green puddles,
unintentionally
drowning in lies,
consumed by
a flooded ego.
I became overrun
with salty emotion,
yearning for
your knowing stare
once more,
recollecting how I
used to be absorbed
in myself
whilst I swallowed
your beauty.
