Ocean Door

I miss her
All the time I miss her.
When it starts to creep in
The feeling
That I'm never going to see her again. I freeze.
And then it subsides back down.
Because I have to make it.
If not, it can consume me.
As if I have the ability to lock an ocean away inside my chest,
And if I allow it to unlock
My chest will swarm with dark seas
That spread through my veins;
Out my ears and eyes.

And then,
I'm not sure if I could lock it again.
