Some descend far under the sea

Others abseil down underground

But its inside part of each of us

The deepest of caverns are found

The deepest caverns are in the heart

Mysterious and echoing and ever dank

Grottos where dreams wither and die

Where a million loves dried and shrank

Love is deeper than anyone can go

There's no bottom to that chasm

Its a death zone...

In those eyes, tears do brim

All a-quiver are your lips

I've done wrong again

The latest of many slips

I rack my brains for reasons

Did I omit my morning kiss?

Or fail to hail your daily bloom?

What critical need did I miss?

As the baby's due next month

I'm watching my p's and q's

Skating on thin eggshells

Pandering to your mute clues

Then it dawn...
