The two of us sat together in the same moment among the emptiness.
The perfectly circular sun radiated its warmth
as we dazed hopelessly out at the innocence,
I longed for time to move slower.
Yet you flicked your wrist to see it was preciously
7:12 and the minutes were running rapidly through time

The deep blue waters moved calmly,
while you sat restlessly
and the sand pinched your callused skin.
I sat.
Undisturbed, wishful, and hollow inside.

With each new waved that collapsed onto the shore
a new thought crowded your head.
As the sun began to drown in the ocean
The incandescent sunlight was beginning to fade,
My whole mind, body, and soul ached to be the sun.
To descend perfectly into the deep,
only to be woken by the presence of tomorrow.

The flawless flutter of the waves became interrupted
By your harsh words.
“We’re done.”
Like footsteps among the shells your voice
Broke me in two.
I felt my heart break one piece at a time,
Descending frantically to the bottom
Of my soul.
No longer hollow, my stomach churned

The red orange sun pierced my eyes
As the tears fell.
The waves became loud, and I found myself within the crowd
Looking for the answers inside my head
And I felt your eyes fill my delicate soul with hate.
I felt my body,mind and soul
Ache to be the sun,
And descend perfectly into my tomorrow.
