I dig graves in the palms of my hands,

I scratch myself raw trying to forget your touch

Sometimes I wonder what would be different

if I didn't always push back against your current

If I let you engulf me in your waters

suffocate myself in the feelings I deny

what if my shoulder blades crash into the rocks 

will the pain of the collision

be worse than what I feel now?

will the next grave I dig be one for myself

will you attend my funeral

will your body become home to my corpse

or will you run

because even the strongest waves

must always retract 

the shores only meant to be a temporary home.
