Life is an Ocean

Life is an ocean and

You need not find the calmest waters

Or greenest bays

You only need tread water

Without motion,

though we keep breathing

We drown

Life is an ocean

One must only keep treading

Loss

It hurts in spurts, As we shuffle our feet past the loss. Though the losses differ, the feelings are the same And perhaps it is not the loss itself we dread, But the feeling of what comes now, in its stead It is the dreadful change, The gaping hole, the void, the fresh cut wound It is the summation of the question, “What comes next?" What lives on in blissful memory Of what we knew, what we lost, Now irrevocably consumed to entropy Slowly paved over and overgrown by time, It is ephemerality we fear most. But lest we forget In all our remembering, There is real wisdom in knowing While the cherished past is gone Our present too is temporary. Beyond the winter's midnights, lies the summer days. Beyond the ugliness, eventually so too will follow beauty, In the flow of tears, so too, in time, laughter drips.

-C.I. Smith

I hate what you did to me And the way you made me feel I hate that you lead me on And how you didn't seem to care I hate the way you opened me up Just to knock me off my feet I hate the way you made me promises That you didn't intend to keep I hate the way you are still on my mind When you have probably forgotten about me I hate the way I still hold out hope That you'll come back into my life Most of all I hate that I forgive you Cause I know I'm not special at all.
