A Female Perspective

I wish you’d contain me
like a balcony railing, so I can stand near the edge and feel free

I’m Here, You’re Safe

I cry my tears and you hold me tight
whispering

I’m here, you’re safe

asking no questions
needing no answers
knowing my tears are just ice that is melting
glaciers surrendering in the warm spring of safe love

Until he pulled me out
Your wave pulled me forward
The rip pulled me back
I stayed where I was
I knew nothing else
But MY rip and YOUR wave

I knew nothing else
But swimming
