I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for.
You were meant to read these words.

The Air In My Lungs
When sadness was the sea, you were the one that taught me to swim.
sinking lower mostly dead i was pulled out an act of courage, yes,as this person had been gravely injured themselves but much much more as the person near the bottom was the one who had injured her
But why me? If anything, you were the one who shone a light on the waves I almost completely drowned in. You are my lighthouse...but sometimes I wish I didn't have to swim so far to you.
if i say beautiful which I was going to say in a post about seeing poems up ( no lies here) it could be I thought misinterperted as a snide comment to you.
SO i put quotes on and posted it for the absurdity thinking youd understand what I meant. On reflection I dont think anyone could have understood what I meant except to think i was being snide.
Im sorry. I swear that is the truth. If you post this with a star in it or something ( just the star a word I will leave and not come back.
Im sorry THis was a kind of inside joke thing, but i didnt mean it as a joke as much as an absurdity...
Aaah...You were the one to teach me to swim but you actually never were. It hurts when at crucial times...you and my heart turns away.I never accept that my heart is with you but my heart accepts that. Help me! Troublesome! :-S

i was pulled out
an act of courage,
yes,as this person had been
gravely injured themselves
but much much more
as the person near the bottom
was the one who had injured her
I was a ship captain & you were my lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteI became driftwood when your moon stole my tide & the seagulls of your laughter never stopped echoing in the seashells of my thoughts.
Yours were always the bitterest of waves.
Now that you've left, all that I am is drowning.
ReplyDeleteLike a puncture I gasp, breathing yet out of air. Still.
It's always incomplete.
Thank you.
ReplyDeletebeautiful...we learn to swim at that point but need to be re-taught everytime...

ReplyDeleteBut why me? If anything, you were the one who shone a light on the waves I almost completely drowned in. You are my lighthouse...but sometimes I wish I didn't have to swim so far to you.

ReplyDeletecar saltwater and sky
bank -ds taken
without the pings of wrong and right
clouds in an instant gone dry in the fight
lovers and crooks, rivals and strangers...
as the black-
as the dove tailed bird
flew across the -
"beautiful"
