Searching

Folder: 
Blah

Saltwater fills my lungs

With a potency that makes them want to bleed

As I stand here

Watching

Waiting

For the sun to slowly rise

Out of a horizon

That dances out beyond my grasp.



The ocean

Breathes in rhythmic beats

In

Out

In

Out.



The dark blue

Made darker by the moonless sky.



I shudder at the coldness within

While the sweat rolls down my forehead

And into my eyes

Stinging

Like tears

Falling

From dry eyes

That finished crying for you years ago

But they still search

For any sight

Any glimpse

That they may catch

Of you.



Like the ocean keeps breathing

My eyes will keep searching.
