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.
