The words he held behind his tongue were so heavy
Weighing us down like ships at their moorings,
Anchors threaded so loosely to their ships
The abyssal was whispering in her ear
A victim of a godforsaken sea
Without a warning she floats away


Storms weeping with such vehemence,
Waves crashing into their chests
An asphyxiated sink to the bottom.
Choking and heaving on the bitter taste,  
A mouthful of salt water
Strangulated from air she couldn't bare to grace


It was true, her heart was so heavy.
Gasping helplessly
Just to take one breathe above the weight of the ocean
the deep had swallowed her fear and her sin
Baptized by the holy waters of tenebrosity

The tides carry her unto the shores,
Washed up and empty of breath
Her body was so
heavy
and her eyes were so
heavy
She drifts into the darkness,
Clutching every poured word of his against her chest
The abyssal whispering in her ear
Without a warning she floats away
