Drowning

January 11, 2021

When I look at you,

I see something much deeper

than the ocean.

A thousand storms 

pass through your eyes

and it calls me.

Rip me from the safety

of the shore,

and pull me in.

Scream into me

the resounding devastations

of the crashing sea.

Silence gasps for air first,

and I’m still under water.

Maybe I don’t mind

drowning either.

I find comfort 

as I settle into the stillness.

Fighting to understand someone who is internally distressed, and allowing vulnerability to disappear in eachother's presnece.
