Waves.

The waves hit me
Right on my feet,
The water ripples,
They moved around me.
But I was okay,
It was only till my feet,
It was okay.
I was warm deep within me,
Your warmth hadn’t left the spaces
Between my fingers, deep in my knuckles.
And my neck, it had your kisses.
You were like a dog.
You, who marked his territory, in the form of
Soft kisses on my bare skin.
The waves kept leveling up.
They were till my knees
And I trembled, for the water was too cold,
And so was your soul.
Your soul was dark and I was too caught up,
Maybe a bit in love,
To realize what was in front of me,
It wasn’t love, no;
It was far from that.
The waves kept rising,
And it’s getting hard to stand still.
The tides will knock me down.
And I wasn’t quite aware of that,
But I didn’t know how to move away either.
The sand I stood on,
It was the only
Place I had ever known.
And it was home to me.
And how could anyone ever
Run away from their home?
You are slowly sliding away from me,
But all I can do is let you slide further;
After all, I don’t quite like you anymore.
No, I came out of it.
The tides were too high,
So were your hands.
They rose from my waist, up to my throat.
From a gentle caress,
They turned to strangling fingers.
The waves are till my waist now,
And I am shivering all over.
I am struggling to keep my toes in the sand.
All the while, not realizing that I should let go;
For if I sink my toes any deeper,
I won’t be able to get out.
And you have left me,
But you have left with me a great weight.
It just helps me to sink in further away.
It’s getting harder to get out of the water now,
I am whimpering, trying to hold myself still.
Oh dear, what have I gotten myself into?
The waves hit my shoulder, and I-
I can’t do anything but fall.
The amount of water is too much,
And I’m afraid, even though
I’ve learnt to get my feet out,
It’s far too late.
So I sink, sink, sink
As the water covers me,
I disappear, disappear, disappear.
