Dating : My Ocean

I’m watching the ocean recede with the pain so deeply heartfelt.
It’s nonchalant and indifferent, undamaged and fearless.
I wish I could be more like the ocean and less like myself,
But here I am, my tormented heart shattered broken into a million little pieces.

I am breathless and brittle, the finesse of my angst is an art.
I have never felt smaller, I have never felt thinner,
Though of course, I have; I know the feeling by heart,
But every time still feels like the first time, with its unbearably treacherous quiver.

You have captured me here, with each promise and every despair,
Your irreverence glowing like a firefly in the dark.
I am breathing you in and breathing out hot air,
And the truth has never seemed so explicit, so within reach, so clear-cut,
So painful.
So graphic.
So stark.
