WAVES OF WORRY

By Bethany Jade McDonnell


It comes in waves, they say—

not the kind that kiss your feet.

No, these waves devour.

 

They wear faces:

a song, a scent,

memories before the storm.

 

They come at 3am.

In silent screams,

dreams turned nightmares.

 

A whisper of water,

but it’s a tempest

waiting to drown you.
