lest i forget

lest i forget
you are your own
after all

i shadow
your soul
encircle mine

for there are times
when neither light
nor dark
silhouette our
form

tonight
for instance

it's not
a breakdown
of vision
nor lack of
insight

we are mere
vapor

more so
penchant
for evaporation
we've acquired

vertigo
as we spiral

we're adrift
my love

and
tethered
