Falling,
falling,
swimming,
struggling,
taken
by the undercurrent
of this tumultuous
Love;
drowning,
drowning,
saltwater of my tears
filling my
lungs;
aching,
aching,
as I go
down,
down…

Wait-
was that
a shoreline
in sight,
the distant chance
that silently
calls me?
Perhaps
I may
live…

Crashing,
crashing-
no, this is not
sand;
the rocks,
that hard place,
bashing,
bashing my aching
brains in;
slashing,
slashing my pale skin open;
breaking,
breaking-
I’m breaking…

Unexpected
gentle hands
lift my marred body
off the treacherous terrain;
caressing my wounds,
kissing my damaged skin,
loving me…

Love me, dearest...
for I love you, too.

Perhaps
I shall
live.
Heartbreak is destructive; Love saves. :heart: :rose:
