Riptide
The ocean
that was our love
transformed from the
foamy green waves
that supported life
into the treacherous
icy sea that
smothered our fire.
it was the wind
that did it
pushing and pulling
us around with it
until i was caught up
in the riptide
swallowing water
and trying to
fight through
the exhaustion
of struggling for you.
and as the water
dragged me deeper
i saw you standing
on the shore
slowly turning
your back to me
until the water
obscured you
from my sight
forever.
