The Ben-Varrey

Right as soon as she jumped in, I'm freezing.
Not breathing. She ain't even listening.
Can't get past this.
No silver lining.
No.
Cascading waves of grace sheds away.
Shes fading fast at incredible paces.
A figment of my imagination.
There and gone as soon as she jumped in.
Cascading waves took her away
and we lost her to the
godforsaken
ocean.

Nearly grown and still believes in magic
how could we have known she'd be shedding her skin?

Well we didn't,
and
we did this.

And it'll never happen again.
Right as soon as she jumped in we
were frozen stiff.
