this wave


this wave

this wave inside me

rushing through me

taking over

consuming me

 

this consumption

tearing at me

eating me alive

piece by piece

I’m falling

 

I fall

I fall into this gravitational pull

with no gravity

closer and closer

and with each tug

grows this sensation

 

this sensation

this sensation consuming me

like a wave

rushing inside and all around me

tearing me apart; eating me alive piece by piece

but i am saved

 

this savior

perhaps a handsome prince

here to wake me from this dream

 

this nightmare

this nightmare taking on a new direction

 

look from your perspective

everything is changed

this consumption has taken over

I have been caught mid fall

this sensation is everlasting

this savior is mine

my handsome prince

and I,

a queen

in this world of two

where I love you

this love is true

this love

 

this love of writing

of expression

a new world of joy for those eternal moments

moments shared in this microcosm of macrocosms

this escape
