Stricken

Dead in the water
Dead
Yet still flailing 
As the body will 
Grasping at the sea’s weeds
And the pretend hope that floats past
From above and below
I’m left knowing 
To praise and to damn the child I was 

Completion

All I remember
I flicked my bangs
Half on purpose
You looked at me
Differently
Within the second
We were in our arms
What you wanted to say
I forced from your mouth
You forgave me
Beautifully
The next seconds stood still
My eyes must’ve spilled smiles
Oh for sure 
They spilled smiles
Unfinished we spit out our gum
