My heart is Point Nemo,

Now now, don't panic.

It just means that for far 

Too long, it's been static.

Until the day I saw your smile

Point Nemo became Point Zero.

One, two, three, baby

I am flying so fast right now

The numbers have begun to blur,

The colours are so bright

Even when you are so far. 

I wake up every morning

Thinking of the way your eyes

Light up even without the light.

Maybe it's wrong to fantasize

Of a life with you

So much; to think so much

How the lines on your face

Stitch my heart back into place,

Maybe I am a creep

Or maybe I

am not;

It might not even be that deep.

Maybe you are what they call a soul mate.

And maybe you are just too beautiful

For that; but I stay up late

Writing poems and praying

When the sun is low

And then you can't hear the birds calling

Or feel the leaves whispering

Or see the colours of flowers;

I hope whatever I have

In my broken heart

Reaches you in time

Shit, I am running out of words to rhyme.

Well anyway, I hope you know, 

The fireplace is unused and dusty;

But the flames are bright.

Warm your feet and feet, 

And regain your sight,

And be happy

Darlin.
