blue waves crash me against the rocks
unrelenting and frigid
like your eyes on me
and i can’t tell what goes on
behind that icy gaze
i cling to my sediment
jagged and slippery
like my mind on overdrive
what do you want from me
an apology or silence
as i’m dragged away
by my conclusive indecision
i think of past regrets
your silence and mannerisms
it’s almost as crushing
as the water i drown in
the oxygen bubbles trail after me
into a silent sea
the pockets of air don’t reach my lungs
but my tears do reach the ocean
