Salty Eyes

I said I would never

Give myself away

That I would always be mine

To love and cherish.

Then you happened.

And I saw your eyes

And I kissed your smile

And I don’t know where I went.

Then you left me

As suddenly as you came

And I am lost.

These pathways I tread

Are supposed to keep me happy.

I never thought of you

In my plan.

This ink has spilt all over

The blueprints of my life

I cannot remember

The coordinates

And I am lost at sea.

You have muddled the shape

Of the constellations

And the North Star

Has veered off to the South.

I paddle my oars

In panic

But there is no shore in sight

And my map has fallen into the

Salty sea

That I fear I might have created.

Do not bother coming back

Because I would rather

Die here

Not knowing where I am

Than being drowned by you

In your eyes,
That I lost myself in.
