Waves

I always feel this way when the wave rushes in

Claiming what is its from the shore

Leaving it barren and

Vulnerable

I always feel this way when the nausea sets in

Crushing against my ribs like a weight making itself comfortable for the night

Crushing me further and further as I beg it to stop

I plead that it stops

 

Back to the ocean what the wave has claimed lies at the floor

Another wave takes what is left, farther out to sea

The place where the horizon meets the ocean, farther than the eye can tell the difference

So far away that no one cares to look for it anymore

 

It is forever lost
