here's a poem I made for my creative writing class. if i make more i'll post them too
'how not to fall in love'
don’t stand on the sand as the tide rushes out from shore
leaving the sand bare and your feet dry
don’t try to run once it comes in again
as a tsunami that roars past the beach
shattering windows all through the business district
the great lifegiver sweeps you into the undertow
tearing children from their mothers arms
the breaths you take above water
are filled with salt and broken glass
the weather called for rain
against my mothers advice
i prayed for a downpour
rescue helicopters pass
carrying no food or towels
only body bags
when the sun comes out
you don’t feel lucky for living
just the itch of sunburnt skin
as you float
casting your net
trying to find a part of you
that survived
'how not to fall in love'
don’t stand on the sand as the tide rushes out from shore
leaving the sand bare and your feet dry
don’t try to run once it comes in again
as a tsunami that roars past the beach
shattering windows all through the business district
the great lifegiver sweeps you into the undertow
tearing children from their mothers arms
the breaths you take above water
are filled with salt and broken glass
the weather called for rain
against my mothers advice
i prayed for a downpour
rescue helicopters pass
carrying no food or towels
only body bags
when the sun comes out
you don’t feel lucky for living
just the itch of sunburnt skin
as you float
casting your net
