Been having feelings about T surface, and I write poems to relieve the pain. Here's once I call, Oceans of You:

I look across
the room
to you
blinded by the reflection
of truth.
Waves of feelings
flood my mind
Underwater
I run out of time
I can't breathe
the waves crash against
my heart
I'm terrified

Scared you will swallow me whole
drown me, hold me under
until I am lifeless and blue
I'm sinking deep into the ocean of you.

Resuscitate me, breathe new life
into this dead aching heart

I dream you'll take my hand
pull me out of this sinking sand
catch me before I fall into
this ocean of feelings for you.

Salt water burns my eyes
realize it's the stinging of tears
my emotions are inside
screaming for you to hear

I swim towards you
but the waves are too strong
I am weak in the current
the distance between us grows

You drift out to sea
onto something new
and weak from trying to
stay above the surface
I sink into the Ocean of You.

so beautiful and raw, thanks for sharing!
