to the ocean. by the shore.

to the ocean. by the shore.
ill write her a letter.

on paper held together
with the stitches that keep
this hole in my chest from tearing
apart any further.

seal its envelope with each
and every tear thats fallen
down my cheek.

its stamp, the shape of a heart that
before, was very much together.

with my trembling hands, ill put it
in a bottle.

cork it up along with every single word
that just a week or so ago, meant the
world.

then toss it into that big ocean.
never to be seen again.

maybe then all of this pain thats been
suffocating me will sink to the ocean floor.

like that broken castle by the shore.
