I longed for this day.
When you were told
that you could no longer hold the sun,
so that you couldn't burn
through bones,
keeping bits of skin as trophies.
And I often wondered if
you wore them,
because it always seemed like I was tearing through layers
just to find out
that you were someone else.
And you told me
that you would never have given up,
because even the sea couldn't stop you.

In my metaphor, I can swim as well as in this world, and the sea will only ever be just something to swim through. Waves make me stronger, and calm lets me rest. But the only reason the sea can't stop me is because I am too 'frightened' of cold water to get in it and prove that it can't. Irony, and almost a contradiction. For that, regardless of how far I can swim through violent waters, I set the barrier there myself.
Irrelevant.

Where have I been?!
This is amazing my dear queenypoo, the imagery and emotion and everything about it just totally hooked me. It's actually pretty short but it holds so much I didn't notice 'til just now. I agree, this has to be one of your best/one of my favorites of your recent stuff. Wonderful job my love!

An awesome write. I think this is one of your best free-verse. The images are so heart-breaking and sad. Very touching, sweets. Creative, and the flow and length were great. Keep it up.

explain now
This was so painful it dug under my skin and tore it apart until it reached the place in your chest right under the sternum that aches when you're betrayed.
I hope you're okay sweetie come to me if you need to talk. I may be going through stuff too but you're is more important to me Love you!

Badass.
Hmm, I definitely am liking this poem of yours, the language, especially figurative, was very thought provoking...although, like I said, I can't quite tell what it's about lol. But still, it's awesome.
