I walk upon the broken seashells you leave behind,
memories impressed upon the souls of my feet,
the conch shell pressed to my ear, I can hear
the sound of your heart beat.
I will drink the salt of your ocean,
watching you upon some distant shore,
but as you drift away your shadow
always stays and walks in my bloody
footprints.
I etch messages upon driftwood
only to have the waves always toss them back,
I wait for your Morse code to come in flashes
of sunlight bouncing across the rocks.
I become lost in the morning mist,
allowing the cold too enshroud me,
biting across my flesh it reminds me
that I am still alive, and not a specter
within your dream.
