Waves
I stand at the shore and watch as the clouds roll in
Getting darker as the waves crash against my eyes
They burn with the taste of salt on my tongue
I feel free at this moment just for a second
I’m scared
Scared of what’s behind those waves
Scared of what happens after
Then just as quickly as it started
It stops
It all stops
The waves are gone
I can still feel salt burned into my skin
My skin
Oh my skin it’s all tight
Itchy
I scratch my thighs to stop the itching feeling
Drip, Drip, drip
A stinging warm feeling runs down the curves of my calves and then to my ankles
It stains the sand under my weight
I dare not look at them
For I know I will not like the sight of what I’ve done
I toss my head back
Breathe tight in my chest
I look at the sun
Oh the sun is shining so bright
That’s all what matters in this moment
Is the sun
I stretch towards to sky for now it has gotten harder to breath
My eyes
They weep in sorrow
The sun is too bright
They burn
Why must the sun be so beautiful but cause so much pain
Tired
I’m so tired
I close my eyes and soak in the warm deadly rays
I can hear a distant weeping of a women
I feel no pain
No itchy feeling
My eyes don’t hurt anymore
now
now I can sleep
I rest my head on the clouds
So soft
Am I floating
No
I’m dreaming
Dreaming for one last time
Forever wrapped in the warmth of the waves
The waves that started all of this
