I can't swim
But yet I find myself in the sea
Surrounded by the waters of my guilt and how you used to hold me
How you knew what to do and how to do it
But now I’m drowning
Drowning yet again tears that are being scattered
and buried by the salty water covering my face in a rush
My chest feeling heavy going down faster
Every blink
Drowning and crying with the tears being separated by the salt instead sticking to my face
Drowning and hurting crying and dying
How I wish I could swim in this moment
Or drown quickly enough to not feel this pressure on my chest
To not cry and drown in my guilt
The sea becoming a lake the lake becoming a river
Slowly become smaller
Soon enough my lungs reach air
A deep inhale of the sweet oxygen reuniting with my lungs
The air hugging my tongue
Water beneath me still on the sea not a river nor lake
A sea I’m floating and I’m breathing fine
I’m at peace with your touch your voice and you heart
I’m floating above with the air reaching my lungs every breathe
I’ve found my peace of loving you and not drowning
Nor swimming
But
……Floating
