I can hear your heartbeat

Like a conch pressed to my ear

You sense it on the other end

Every time I disappear

Like footsteps retreating

From a walk amongst the stars

How could I leave you stranded

When you thought the world was ours

It’s a violent game— one I know well

Dancing silver linings of a healing heart

One heavy step over the edge

It all falls apart

Swept away on ancient shores

Obsidian depths carry your weight

The sky merely a reflection

Drifting in my wake

Glistening atop the waters’ skin

You’ll wash ashore soon

The conch will find its way to me again,

And I will find my way back to you
