You smile at
Me
And Billie Eilish
Sings about
Ocean eyes;
We both talk about
How we've
Been running
Our whole lives,
Assuming we
Meant ‘away’
When maybe
We've been running
Towards
Each
Other;
(is this the part where we
Stay?)
You ask questions
That sink deep,
You let me
Take up space
(can you breathe?)
I want to know
What flows in you,
You look at me
And I'm drenched in
Blue…
But nothing like drowning.
I float on the
Waves of your gaze,
You look at me like I'm
Something amazing–
And maybe
I am?
I don't feel worthy,
But perhaps that's not
Up to me.
You sparkle, I'm
Dazzled by your
Brilliance,
The sunlight on
The surface, and
I want to dive into
The darker parts you
Hint at,
But
all
in
time.
Your song is sweet,
And I'm at your feet,
liable to
Crash against your
Rocks, enchanted.
It seems
I've landed
At sea.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

The short lines and ever falling flow of words create a sense falling in love and sinking ever deeper into all those romantic feelings. These lines really resonate with me personally: "I don't feel worthy, But perhaps that's not Up to me." Wonderful work, thank you for sharing.
