Baylee

Under

Consumed

by the deep gray

of that gaze

 

I am sucked into

the raging swell of emotion

you show but never speak

 

Waves thrusting me

Under,

under,

under,

light dying,

frigid glaciation  

paralyzing my every cell

the suffocating waters

ruthless

 

I am fighting you

as a snowflake

would fight the sea:

with no hope

of ever seeing

another tomorrow.
