the past will drown us if we don't swim
January 16, 2016
he dived into a pool of syrupy, blackness;
dived into his past.
It smelled of dirty clothes,
sweat, and goodbyes.
he choked on the thick memory of salty tears.
raucous music rippled through
the molasses that weighed him down.
he kicked his feet feverishly,
once he realized his mistake of dwelling.
back and forth,
back and forth.
his lips broke the surface,
sunlight met him with a kiss.
the bad days were long gone.
