Skipping Stone from inamorata by Tire Swing Co.

threw a stone into your ocean
and skipped along your surface
hoping you would someday let me in
but as i touched upon you briefly
i felt you pushing me away
yet as i left, i heard a please come again
so i came back in time for you
and touched upon your surface
gently placed a kiss upon your head
but i kept sailing onwards
across your precious ocean
hoping one day you would come to me instead
you always kept your calm
and i could never break your skin
though our kisses lasted longer than before
and i felt us getting closer
as the time between our touching
seemed to narrow with the fading distant shore
just as i hung my head and thought it was in vain
our last kiss met with no resistance
and i sank into your ocean
blissfully without hesitation
knowing it was all worth this instant
but as i fell further down
and the colder it became
panic spread like fire through a home
and i fell into a graveyard
of drowned skipping stones
all of whom you’d left to die alone
