drawn in half

Throw me a line
I'm still sinking

Thinking,
"Did I ever leave?"

Because I am a thousand miles away

still feeling
the water
whipping my face
from the back of that wave
as I watched you disappear

smaller and smaller

the sun on my skin
precious poison

tasting the salt
under another rainbow

still swimming
pretending to hold on
to this tiny piece of foam
to preserve
this life...

that one, actually

gazing out to the horizon
waiting
for one last wave

but it's never enough
