Why does it feel so good to fall so far?
To dive back into this ocean that tore my heart apart for so long?
Why is it that once my skin is dry i feel the need to dive back?
Because every few weeks my feet fall on solid ground
And I can finally inhale without fear of water in my lungs.
But as the peaceful sun draws freckles on my shoulders
And the last of the water gets sucked back up into the clouds
I hear the sound of the sea calling again.
The way it coos my name sends chills down my spine.
And for some reason I can't stay dry.
There is something in those icy salt waters
That numb the pain and intensify it together.
It makes me crazy for it.
Because I do enjoy the sun.
I enjoy not having to worry and not to shake
Not to have this pain cutting across my skin
But every time I’m warm
And done shaking with the hypothermia
I dive back.
Why does it feel so good to fall so far?
