My heart drifted upon
the waves over the
Atlantic.

It was that night we
spoke online for the
first time. When we
were miles apart.

I placed it in a clam shell
to keep it safe so no
pirates or seagulls take
it away before it reaches
the bay.

I had hope and faith that
you'll hear it beat under
the seaweed and golden
sands that your gentle
feet will stand upon.

As you take your morning
stroll by the ocean's
beautiful blue
shores* ~

ill erase
the pictures

ill put
walls
around the
memories

but ill
order another
cherry coke,
because it
tastes
like you did.

today,
i wish
i was
dead.

i want
to roam
the
world
as a
shadow,
seeing
the pain
but not
feeling
it.
