let it flowwwwww

july 18, 2024

an ocean so beautiful,
its blue hues echo among
the hollowing weeps of tides
that clash with one other.

only now the cries surface
as i dive in,
following stabbing pains
of a thousand needles clawing at my skin.

i sink long
before my arms do,
skin that was once warmed,
is now chilled by the very same embrace
