8:11 am

i was just lying there,
             too numb to realize
         that i was freezing and
            too tired to realize i was in water.

  i couldn't remember how to move,
                         how to get up.
     i had this hollow feeling in my chest,
        a black hole that was devouring
       every good thing i had been.

     and beyond my head was a paper boat,
   one of the boats he had made me.
    it sailed away on ripples that
   were coming from my
                shivering body.
