Eddies
My doubts
eddies around my ankles
threaten to suck me into the whirlpool
I want to believe your words
but the ocean of my insecurities is deep
and though I’m a competent swimmer
I have a deep seated fear of drowning
My nightmare watery grave
is fluid with lies leaked from lips
of those who purported to care
Lack of oxygen and tears blur my vision
but my heart still sees nothing but good in you
Take my hand and lead me to shore
before the tide comes in
there’s still time to save me
