When I drop

the beat of

my heart into

the ocean

the splash spirals

outward

away from where

it started

until i can't see it

anymore

as if it never

existed

no more flying high

trying

crying

dying inside

lying to

myself

and believing it

life is too short

to chase

what is not

to catch only

nothing

as if it was ever

something

time to pack those

tears up

and trade them for

some grit.
