​Salt

The salt in my body
The ocean inside of me
An intoxicating tide
A current of aching

And the sea grows heavy
Every pull is abyss-bound
I know that I must leave
I know that I can

In sub-skin chasms
Surges my longing
Uproots time
Erodes my dread

Far from the shore
I glimpse faint memories
I let the heavy sea take me
I sense the tremor of the deep

The ocean swells in me
Is the salt in my tears

And the sea grows heavy
Every pull is abyss-bound
I know that I must leave
I know that I can
