Lost at the sea of what she once was, she reaches for the rocks that cut at her palms like false promises and gasps for air that stings her lungs like empty kisses once placed upon her lips.
Waves, which once playfully washed away her worries and called her to dance among the them, now beat upon her soul like the free flowing tears of a grieving mother.
Disoriented, minutes become an eternity and grey skies turn to blue seas that threaten to swallow her whole being...but only if she fights it.
And so she doesn't.
Bravely pushing herself off the jagged rocks that threaten to leave her maimed, slowing her breath to accept her truth, she allows the waves to carry her into the grey seas that now give way to blue skies and the fight becomes surrender. Her today becomes a yesterday.
Her nothingness now her everything.
She bids farewell and unto her sea she returns.
