Grass Ocean

I’m sprawled here, In this field. The tall grass, Swallows me up. It moves in waves, Just like the ocean. So, for once, I can swim, In this big grass sea. I lay here, looking up, At that indigo sky. Surrounded by my ocean, And it’s tickling my face. I close my hazel eyes Not having a need To keep them open. And I wonder How it would feel If I could swim. I simply lay here Feeling so broken My trust betrayed My ocean swirls around me The sun shining on me The wind whispers in my ear But it’s words mean nothing They’re lies to me now I stretch my arms out High above my head And I touch cold metal, And I’m angry all over You can walk The wind whispers I plug my ears Because it’s lying He took that from me My pride and joy I cannot run, I cannot walk And I lay here, broken But here, in my ocean It’s my little secret My demise is not For the world to see My pain is for me A tear rolls down my cheek And still, lay still, I cannot speak
