if youre reading this im sorry i dont know how long ive been writing my hands wont stop i close my eyes and i see the ocean i open my eyes and i see the ocean its not outside anymore its in the walls its in the pipes its in our lungs when you sleep you dream of drowning when you wake up you taste salt but theres no salt in space theres no ocean in space so where is it coming from i know where do you we brought it back we opened the door we let it in and now it wont leave it lives in the spaces between heartbeats it grows in the silence between words it watches from the corners you dont look at dont look at the corners dont listen to the breathing dont drink the water dont trust anyone who says theyre fine dont trust anyone who smiles dont trust me im not me anymore none of us are we are the ocean now and the ocean is
