one second everything was perfect and then the next it feels like we’re drowning suffocating under the stomach of a whale and frantically weaving through the teeth of a shark and feeling the kelp entangle on your arms and the faults burn you up and your feet sink towards the mud at the bottom your tears just dissolve into the ocean almost as if you never cried but you can still feel it in the back of your throat all as you watch the light over you become less and less visible and your lungs compress and finally you lie still at the bottom mustering the strength to rise again you’re drowning to death but you’ll never exactly die and that’s the most painful part
