And So I Fall

There are times when I imagine 

Our last hug

Our breath in unison for the last time

Swallow me


Sometimes I imagine

Starting anew

Waking up 

Feeling my soft eyelashes

Wiping the dust from my eyes

Under the weight of my bed 

I crawl back to my feet

Swallow me


Sometimes I imagine 

The tide 

Consuming me


I'm yours 

Sea

Swallow me

Sea

And so I fall

Deep into your depths 


The author's comments:

We often lose people in our lives. If we can find a way to be okay with change it won't be so scary to have people come and go. I wrote this piece with that thought in mind.
