Surface Tension

Breaking the water  
seems so dangerous,
that dying
to the world around us.
It’s so hard to be real.
What does the surface conceal?

Surface tension
seems so perfect,
hiding truth
like sound proof glass.

Surface tension
should I mention,
it is silent
Silent death

It's like the tears
that just won't fall,
like desperate hope
I hold inside;
a painting of an almost-
there embrace
unfulfilled and therefore
still denied.

And so I dive
Dive deep
into the pool of truth,
break water stillness
like falling glass,
and I ask for nothing more
than depth.
