Grasping Flesh

Writer's picture: MelindaMelinda

A rip tide had me

I choked on seawater

Lungs bursting through old scars

You offered your hand

I reached

Clawed

Nails tore epidermal layers

In my desperation

For air

But I was mistaken

It wasn’t your hand

It was all of you

And I’m so sorry
