my love is in the ocean but i cannot swim
and so i looked up 'love' in the dictionary.
it said see also: 'empathy'
i flipped back and it read.
v. the way you feel about me.

so i wrote a love letter
folded it, crumbled it
and shoved it in a bottle.
threw it out into the ocean.
only i never knew the bottle was broken.

now almost 100 years later.
a girl found this bottle.
she wept with love.
told the whole world about her lover.
from centuries ago.

and that is how i fell in love with a girl i never met.

but my love sparked clockwork in her brain.
she took up assembly, and spoke of orderly change.
she spoke of love, and peace. and a man put a bullet in her brain.
oh, i even bet that he had three names.

and that is how i killed a girl i never met.

but fuck her, i'm the one who sat here and cried.
i sat here waiting for reply.(tide after tide)
i sat on that coast until the day that i died.
