Don’t tell me
There are more fish
In the sea
When all I want is you
When you
Are all
I want
The sea does not pertain
To me and you
Unless you want me to
Drown looking
For you
Because I will.
I will drown in you
If I haven’t already
Finding you
In a sea
Of others
Of other fish
Is my destiny
If you walk out of
That door
I will drown
It’s hard to believe
That I am a process
of writing
A current of
running
water
towards an electric
power plant during
A great earthquake
The earth shatters
It shatters beneath
your feet and you
Fall you fall
within
And you are
safe in a river
of electrifying
waters that
carry your waves
Your waves
crashing against the shore
crashing and disappearing
resting and crashing
and resting
on shores of electrifying
Waters
You rest
