all you've known was rot and decay.
everyday
living beneath a surface of water,
everything slow and uneven.
and then something happens and you're
on dry land and the sun makes your skin feel
warm and
the world was built for you.
it'll be heaven for a while.
but the riptide pulls
at your core
******* you back under water as
your heaven shrugs it's pale shoulders and
walks away.
you're back under water again and
you've come to a bitter end
where you can't
remember the last time you've smiled.
the water starts to look good to you and you
let the riptide take you.
