A picture
A smile that's burned into
my memory
The sweetest smile I've ever seen
Those eyes
Oh, those eyes
Eyes that beg to me,
"Please, take me.
Rescue me
from myself."
Or is it YOU
that is rescuing me?
Walking this lonely path
in the desert of my despair
The sun beating down on me
Taking away all hope
Alive but not living
No color
No comfort
Just grey sand everywhere
My eyes were weary
My heart barely
beating
And then...
That picture
This goes beyond longing
Beyond aching
Beyond desire
I thirst for you.

(music) The Shape of Water, movie's ending scene (instrumental, then poem, words on screen) [2:34] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DlRGMZYCo4

Poem read out loud at the end--
"Unable to perceive the shape of you
I find you all around me
Your presence fills my eyes with your love
It humbles my heart
For you are everywhere"

There's a dual meaning. The referenced pic is from a club called H2O.

And, of course, it means water, which is a metaphor.
