Image for the poem I

I'll Be Right There

 

I'll Be Right There

I've been here before
All of my life in fact

Suspended between life and the unknown
Seeking salvation and acceptance by many who I'm now foreign to
Unseen by

Yet enjoying my freedom above them 
Unpolluted by the very things which keep them bound

I can feel her tentacles pulling me
She's not the monster my mother always said to stay away from
Make sure you have protection daddy would warn
But she's always been there with me 
For me

I built sandcastles under her
Held hands and stole kisses
She colored my daughters' skin 

She's warming my back now
Pulling me faster and faster 
Moving me closer and closer
I can't resist her 
I never had the strength 
I'll just sleep 
So we can be together

Shoulda brought marshmallows
