Diamonds in the Ocean
by Bella Victoria
Wash me awayThat’s what oceans do
Send me a wave
Full of greens and blues
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Gone with the ocean
But all that does is make me miss him more
Than before
Under the water
Everything’s so clear
There are no colors
Way down here
But water makes me
Forget how to breathe
And all that does is make me miss him more
Than before
Losing breath, losing oxygen
Try to breathe but water pours in
I look around in search of his hand
But he will never pull me to the sand
So I adapt
He never had my back
Instead of struggling
Gills are beginning
To grow on me
To help me breathe
In the sea
Stop drowning
His eyes are like diamonds in the ocean
The feeling makes me want to sew them
I’ll dry out if I swim on the shore
But all that does is make me miss him more
Than before
