There's An Ocean Poem by Guinevere Eveleigh

There's An Ocean



There's an ocean inside my heart

The waters are as black as night

There's an ocean but the waves are dark

They consume everything in sight

Nothing lives inside its stomach

But moans and groans

A never-ending emptiness

It creeps along my limbs and bones

Feeding on my loneliness

There's an ocean inside my heart

It grew like mould

When you went away

You made a hole and there it grew

Feeding on me everyday

There's an ocean where nothing swims

Where no light can penetrate

There's an ocean

It lives in me

Sometimes I don't know it's there

But when I do

I feel like drowning

In its dark waters

It's an ocean and sometimes I resurface

And I breathe in the light and the air

But I dread the day, the one day

When I do not
