storm rolling
sHipwrecked
tidEs turning
waves tossing
catching
my breath
bLackout
swePt ashore
nothing
not even a diMe to my namE
you were tHere.
that
was all
i cOuLd think about.
the ocean
echoeD your voice.
maybe
i wasn’t going crazy
because
yOu were there.
that
was eNough
to get me Through.

you;
dOe-eyed
face of poise
and grace
words
of solace
that build
a fortress
that quiet
my deepest
darkest
fears
hands
so careful
and precise
pulled me forth
into
the right arms

i won’t
make any promises
for now;
but please saY
you’ll stick by me
in this next chapter
at least until
fOrever comes Undone.
