The Ocean
Today, I’m going to cry myself an ocean… because I need somewhere dark, and someplace deep, to hide from the sun; to protect me from the heat. I tuck the raw parts of my heart down — under the sand, in the shadowy depths of the water — because direct sunlight is agony, for exposed nerves. It’s easy to keep my feelings submerged, when they’re bloated and heavy, like this. The past is an anchor, that keeps me from surfacing too abruptly. My hopes are vengeful mermaids, kissing me underwater, just long enough to keep me from drowning… but never cutting my wrists and ankles, bound by memories, free. I’ll live forever at the bottom of the sea, where no can see you weep; no one can hear me scream.
