Tell me

the truth this time.

Do you ever feel remorse,

for the people you've drowned?

Do you,

ever,

bring someone to the shore alive? 

Breathing?

Do you ever

tell the people who look at you

before the fall, 

in that moment between the thought and the action,

do you ever tell them

that it will be alright?

That the land needs their footsteps,

to feel important.

Do you ever 

reveal to them 

the souls you've crushed?

The bones you've broken.

The hearts you've shattered.

Do you ever,

reveal to them

the bodies you've hidden in the depths of you?


Tell me, Ocean.

What oath do you give them,

that there is more peace in you

than life?
