&quot;We have lingered in the chambers of the sea by sea girls wreathed with sea weed red and brown, till human voices wake us, and we drown.&quot; - TS Eliot<br /> <br /> &quot;I believed that I wanted to be a poet, deep down I just wanted to be a poem&quot;

The middle of my chest feels like it's trapped in the center of the sea;

The waves of a tsunami

 

The thumping thuner is my harmless but frightening heartbeat

-but my words are lightening

and i'm striking you stupid

 

How is it really over?

after all the "one days" and hope for the future

 

I thought you were my immunity to gettng sad, but I should've listened to the half of my head saying I never get boys I want this bad. 

 

Please don't say I never cared, you were everything

and I, I am awful with directions.
