you were my ocean

You are the ocean
and I am the rain.
Fragments of me
are seeping into you
never enough to matter
never enough to be seen
never enough.

But I am here
filling your veins
with my essence
stinging your eyes
with my tears.

If I could give you the sky
I would.
But I only fit in silence
forgotten whispers
of words
you never dared to think.

Swallowed breath
as if
I was never there.
