Sweet Abyss

There’s a feeling that overcame me when I first caught sight of her, a moment where everything inside me came to life.

It’s fleeting, quick, but in that brief second, I am consumed.

Tears prick my eyes as I draw closer, and the summer sun illuminates her in a way that casts diamonds everywhere.

I approach her slowly, but with a clear purpose.

Regardless, I am instantly transformed by her. Every part of her fills me up — the touch of her, her scent, the way the she tastes on my lips.

The wind whips around me and the sun beats down.

I am lost in her depths, venturing deeper and deeper despite her endless, awe-inspiring power.

As I continue, I realize that if I don’t turn back, she will take everything from me. Fear creeps in as she reaches for me, and before I know it, her undertow drags me in.

I am breathless and bewildered, with no thought to struggle.

I sink deeper into her abyss, knowing that I can never return .

I am changed forever.
