Seasick

I lay dormant enclosed by your four walls the overhead lights hug me as luminescence wraps me in blue I fall into you fully clothed

I allow myself to sink into the waves of the sheets that surround as you manage to stay afloat my head bobs for air the waves you provided once scared me they roared in my ear they crashed against my body but they caressed me tenderly afterwards

words by Sydney Pacheco

I’ve grown accustomed to their inconsistencies as all the motion blends into one strong feeling you start to push me below the water and I don’t fight you

It’s frigid and yet, I’m overwhelmed with warmth you continue to drown me & I choke you laugh & I cry but we enjoy it Together
