We keep slipping further.
My body feels pain no longer.
A little liquid courage for the road.
We cross into the depth of the outer worlds of my mind.
You don’t need to bother.
I don’t need to breathe.
We will keep gliding further into the sea.
Tides rising only to fall over us as we gaze up at the stars.
They shine so bright; almost felt it this time.
I’m numb to the touch.
I can’t seem to see.
Blinded by the current that takes over us.
It runs its fingers through my hair, tugging softly.
You don’t need to bother.
My heart beats no longer.
The lights go out as our souls become one.
We’ve become the memories forever imprinted within history.
