shimmering pale light
leaks through the surface
catching my attention
as if by surprise
I look up towards a sky
that reminds me
of nothing
so much as your eyes
I exhale
for what else can you do
underwater?
drifting down as darkness
encloses my mind
a deep breath
as my head breaks
the surface of the water
air hits me harder
than a thousand broken promises
the cold of it
chewing on the salt in my skin
leaks through the surface
catching my attention
as if by surprise
I look up towards a sky
that reminds me
of nothing
so much as your eyes
I exhale
for what else can you do
underwater?
drifting down as darkness
encloses my mind
a deep breath
as my head breaks
the surface of the water
air hits me harder
than a thousand broken promises
the cold of it
chewing on the salt in my skin
