In a past life I was a mermaid who fell in love
with an ancient mariner.
I pulled him into the sea to be my husband.
I didn't know he couldn't breathe underwater.
..I want to feel like the universe isn't about to crush me and my heart isn't about to explode. I would kiss you and tell you I love you and ask you please not to go..
Late, by myself, in the boat of myself, no light and no land anywhere, cloudcover thick. I try to stay just above the surface, yet I'm already under and living with the ocean.
