The Only One Who Could Ever Reach You

The smell of salt hangs in the air

Heavy, and pregnant with tears

How could I have ever have thought I could call this place home?

(where a sea of concrete swallows everything)

So while you paced the floor of our apartment

(a prison for two months still)

I was forcing conversation and not fitting in

Dear, there is no shame in cutting all of our losses!

Let the whole damn coast fall in
