When your heart sinks a thousand leagues under the sea because

Love has served you an open ended question

Buoy what’s left of your lungs to the helium balloon of time

 

And if that does the trick and keep you from

losing your mind in the shark eyes of unrequited desire

 

Come up for air just once kicking and screaming your head off

Because it’s really none of its fucking business to answer to Love

in the first place
