The vacuum encompasses my toes, heels, creeping its way up to my ankles.

As I propel forward, my lungs deflate with the growing silence.

I continuously shift, but you compel me to your surface.

 With endless darkness comes limitless hope.

I push back down. 

 Again, you repel.

 Don’t you get it?

I plunge to forget. Eroding my fears, happiness, and regrets. 

At my breaking points, you wash away the white noise of the world. 

 My failures sink while my thoughts float away.

My cracks, curves, and indentations dissolve.

 Take me away from the conflict, screams, and cries of children.

 Take me away from the judgement, hurt, and resentment.

 Pure silence.

 The collection of tears camouflage in your warm embrace.

 My sanctuary.

 🌊 You'll never sink when you are with me 🌊

 Then why do I try?
