Riptides, Fears

tears, tears,
riptides, fears
swim parallel
not toward

I'd rather swim toward and die
than lie or try to hide
the longing in my heart

intimacy withheld
is there a deeper hell?

it doesn't matter that it's a struggle
my heart is restless 'til it's held

you, your
riptides, fears
hold me away
unheld
