My heart cries out in silent echoes to you
An oscillation through the sea of longing I am drowning in.
I look up at the bright sunlight peering through the indigo water
A siren of hope from the grounded woman that I am
I sink deeper and deeper
My lungs running out of air
Suffocating in regrets of missing you
I weep,
My salty tears getting lost in salty waters
Migrating with the currents ahead.

I saw a sliver of you earlier,
Swimming by the shore
It glistened with hues of sapphire and emerald.
Mesmerized by a radiant memory,
I dove into nostalgia,
Letting the refreshing water
Wash away my hostility for a moment.
The sun kissed me deeply,
The water’s fingers running through my hair,
And with this, I got carried away
Swimming further and further in;

Now, stuck in a whirlpool of disappointment
I look at my bleak surroundings
I look at where I could be if I let myself drown in my own sorrows
And so I cling to the rope of a nearby anchor
A mirage of my dreams and goals ashore.
I emerge to the surface
Breathing again
Reality caresses my face
Filling my lungs more wisely
Than the breath his memory yielded in a kiss
