Kamakura.

[lavenderfleuret]

I have run until I can no longer. 

He singes my lungs, the bitter salt

And sweat of the sea.

Sweet white sand

Is all that separates me

From sinking.

 

Tonight, he swallows me whole. 

I spit him out in turn

But blindly scramble for

Purchase, proof, a piece of him

Before he washes away

With the rest.

 

The stars burn below the black. 

I blink, and he buries me.

 

All I can do is scream.

Thank you, this one is near to my heart. Inspired by real events -- real, pathetic feelings.
