Visuals Imprinted Within Me

I have visuals imprinted of laughs you believed when behind my eyes there was a sea you couldn’t see. My bones feel weak it has bare the hammering when you declared a war with your words there was a scream you couldn’t hear. Its getting so heavy oh i see a shed i’ll wait there it was a shadow hovering over me oh it felt so same to secure i thought that its a roof. It aches to see or feel the pain inside me its just waves but as i feel the waves crash something strikes. i’ll dance out through the shadows when i will again mistake it as my roof oh i stayed there for a while and ill laugh at that too. I’ll smile when I’ll remember how you hammered my bones but still i chose to bare it and survive and i’ll be proud of that too. I’ll smile as long as you will again miss to see the sea behind my eyes of when there has always been a glimpse of hope alive. and as i watch the waves crash inside me there will always be a scar and when something cuts it deeper i’ll let it hurt to save myself from feeling empty and numb for deep as i can feel i still have some laughs left -inside me. Behind those eyes is a sea you couldn’t see. now don’t try to swim you’ll drown its deep. When you reach its deepest depths its broken beneath and you will know its dark now don’t bother don’t try to swim you will drown its deep. don’t try to look when you couldn’t feel. 4 Nov,2023
