throw me into
the ocean
and i swear
to you,
i will find a way
to never drown
because i have
things to look
forward to:
- sunday morning
walks to nowhere
- coffee that keeps me
awake so i can watch
you as you taste the sun
- your wedding dress
- the depth of the waters
i will carry you through
until you understand
that you are worth
drowning for,
in the midst of
an icy winter.
