Into the Ocean

A long silent car ride
tensions running high
quiet in lieu of chaos
clasped in the tight space
you were suffocating me
with what you were not saying

I, too, bridled the storm
brewing in my heart
the fire burning up my brain
to keep the peace

I hit the ground running
kicking off shoes
to dig my bare feet in the sand
to kick the billowing waves
to drown my frustrations

Throw it into the sea
push the hurt into the water
hold it's head under the surface
until it cannot breathe

The past is drowning
at the hands of the future
I am the future
draw the water in
until it swallows you whole
