“I want all of you, forever, you and me, everyday.”

— Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

Air

I take one deep breath in the morning

I feel it fill my lungs all the way to it’s edges

My heart slows

The world stops

In that moment I feel nothing

I think nothing

I am nothing

Until my body brings me back down to earth

Air leaves my lungs

Im back on the ground again

And it comes back

It all comes back

[shewritestheyread]

settled

I settle into my pain 

He settles into the couch 

comfortable numbness is my mercy 

and his liberator 

for why would I speak 

when not spoken to 

why would I fight 

when he knows I won’t win 

why would I run 

when he knows

he will catch me 

escape is a dream 

he won’t let me sleep

Depression

It brings the loneliness in with the tide 

It buries me in the sand

The rage of water fills my lungs

I am a drift and drowning 

[shewritestheyread]

the sun doesn't set on grief, it just prolongs the day

Trauma

Rage knows the edges of my pain

like the ocean knows the edges of the shore

a wave crashes

I'm drowning again

time stills like water

after a storm

as the tide pulls me in
