nothing like her

i heard no word it was thunder
lightning
and
wonder

speak free sweet nothings said
reply
with eyes

real is what fools call upon to feel
while my lips struggle
to form a
last
appeal

i, dazed with presence graced
had space made where i laid
and lost me

saw her wander out cloudlessly towards
the edge i told her
not
to
go
she didn't know? did so
yet here's her bitter shell to show
inaccurate dizziness
in place of a way better mess

but a lack
of word
found her, fast
she turned back
and gasped
