Wavers
I think there is an ocean inside of my head
And it wavers, slowly, reminding me,
It
Might
Leak
Someday
And I'm scared that it will, and all of this ocean will spill from my ears, my nose,
fall into my lap and I will feel the rush run cold on my fingertips.
I already know this will happen.
Because it has happened before.
Each time, I think, maybe this is the last time
this ocean will spill.
But the ocean only swells.
She winks at me, her skeleton clinging upon the growing waves, telling me,
"It is only a matter of time."
