island/home;

salt water breath

i'm thinking about air or an heir or whatever you call it,

whatever you think i'm thinking cause i don't know how to explain this feeling

heart is aching and breaking as time goes on

freezing in the lack of ocean, fresh air, and sight of the milkyway

how my body craves the smell of salt and family,

the desire keeps me up at night with taunting dreams of gummy bears and the breeze,

never thought i'd say i'd miss a mode of transport that makes me physically ill,

red eye lids, and chapped lips pine for a better way to sleep due to the sick desire for some place a little rarer
