help
You affections are an ocean
Your arms, as open and vast as the sea
Your kiss, a salty splendor
Dearest I love you so,
But I forgot to mention an important bit:
I never quite learned to swim.
So now that salt fills my chest
My body is an anchor to the vessel of my heart;
It’s sinking slowly to the sand
The waters twirl my hair
with gentle fingers
murmuring soft apologies
The last of my breath whispers out
forming a perfect sphere
floating towards the surface
Help.
