X

“I stand at shore, drunk on sea air,
Where you left off to, I’m unaware,
Digging deep to hide my tears in the sand
An x will cross the place for you to land.

Day and night, the stars will tell
Crumbs to feed you with fates and tales,
Alluring you towards safe land like a spell
Before you know what all this entails.

Coming back is an option you could shrug off,
If only you didn’t keep on feeding your curiosity
That strands you to a past you once set yourself off
With as much indifference in your demeanour as animosity.

I will, finally, unmoor myself from now on too,
Too long I’ve been adding my own salt to the sea
And new stories wave to me with no traces of you,
Reminding me there’s so much on this earth for me to see.”
