thoughts of you swimming
in my mind
treading water
in tears of loneliness
I avoid you
the depth increases
once serene
clear
warm waters
have changed
dark, cold, turbulent
with undertows
current unpredictable
I don't know
how much longer
I can stay afloat.
already sank under
the surface
a time or two
this could really
be the perfect storm
I could drown under
thoughts of you
focusing on the positive
your love
the raging water
slows and stills
catching my breath
I can swim to shore
and enjoy the
gentleness of the
tide's ebb and flow.
