The Sea's Divide
You must
experience it yourself, decide
what to compare your pain to, and
how long to languish in
this empty sea
rolling you and
me

I cannot explain
the color of blue as we drift
together on this journey
apart, but how to be
alone

Eyes struck
with thoughts of forgiveness,
I only watch
how you swim, swirl away from
the drain

Pulled away
by the deepening tide,
we divide
over the course of time

And should I never
float again by your side,
know this sea is as cruel
as those who leave us here
to live or die


4.30.21
5.14.21 punctuation edit

Written (with my child in mind) to and after hearing:

What's A Broken Heart by Patty Loveless while thinking of my youngest who struggles like their father.
