ocean

why did you have to run so far away from me
for so long
why couldn't you just take the time
to call home
I gave you space
I didn't think you'd forget so
easily
and I still dream of walking
by the ocean
salt on our skin
you next to me
time simply ran out
on you
on me 
on us
you haunt my dreams
you steal my breath
you wasted us my love

how can that sky
be split in two
still fall on me
but not on you
in my favorite picture
there you are by the ocean
I wish that it could carry me
to you
that option is no longer open
left with double questions
too much left unspoken
in the lonely night cell
of tainted light
I wonder
why did you have to go
so far away from me
