The sadness came in waves, so I strayed from the ocean,
but keeping my distance made me lonely,
for I had no place on land.

I longed for the currents.
push, pull,
happy, sad.

When I was with the waters, I was joined by a mix of joy and sorrow
yet when I was away, I was joined by no one.

A sky
full
of stars
and he
was staring
at her.

I am her.
Yet, I am not.
I am the sun.
She was numb.
I am courageous.
She was nameless.
I am her.
Yet, I am not.

the bruises
you left me with
faded

but the scars
on my skin
won't.

i knew you were gone
when i suddenly felt alone in your arms
