All I can write about is the way you hurt me
I won’t be able to run away from you
I won’t ever be able to run out
of this,
this feeling, this hurt, this pain.
this heaviness in my heart,
the heaviness that pulls me down
like an anchor tied to my ankles
pulling me deeper into this ocean that once was enough to quench our thirst
to make us believe that it could offer us life on the hottest days in this summer heat
I wanna dive in.
Instead
you offer me a drink, you put in the palm of your hands this ocean water
you keep giving me this ocean water
but this water, the salt it only makes it worse.
This
This ocean water, the one you let me drink but never let me dive in.
this is your love.
leaving me longing for more,
putting me in my place
keeping me 3 steps forward & 2 steps back.
keeping me at the edge of this island as I stare into the waters longingly.
How deep is your love
And I jump.
But I should’ve known
cause the minute I entered in, the water disappeared.
cause your love was never meant for me.
your love
like this ocean
It was never available to me.
It never existed for me.
