Drown in me

When I romanticized the stars,

the darkness didn’t deepen

to make them shine any brighter.

When I admired the moon,

It cursed me to admire its shame.

When I offered my gratitude to the sun,

It resented me for wanting it to burn.

When I longed to dance with the wind,

It chose flowers over me.

But the river…

It loved me.

so much it wished me to drown in it.

And I?

I am glad they have flaws.

But…

I love the river especially.

Because, it whispers…

“Drown in me and I will give you peace.”
