Pisces

by Leah Laiben

how many times
will i make you beg
before i show a
single feeling,

before i put
our friendship
on a shelf for
safe keeping
and dive in
to turbulent waters,
leaving the air i breathe
behind me?

I'm not so sure I can swim,
and if the waters don't
drown me,
this fish may very well
eat me alive.



(while i'm deciding
whether or not
i should hold my breath,
why don't you hold yours.)
