blue asphyxiation

Folder: 
first

i never worry

when the whiteness engulfs me.

i feel nothing.

so stark and clear.

my mind is washed and once again pure.


i feel nothing.

no cry

no quiver

no sense

that im anywhere near my body.


it is the absolute blueness that startles me.


im out in the middle of the sea

but i cannot swim.

my bones are tired

from the current.

i fear i cant move past.


ive got my baby

waiting for me by the shore,

but my muscles grow weary

and have succumbed

to the gentle pull.


i need you back

to take this sad away from me.

ive tried to fight this drowning by myself.

i dont think im strong enough this time around

my heart is in brazil and i am feeling every centimeter inbetween.
