Composition in blue

my tears are like an ocean
	
	i’m waiting by the beach
	for people that don’t exist 

				and looking at the sea
				catching the next flight
				to a sinking island

					under a navy jeans sunset
					stars messing around
					like splotches of white paint

					from trying to erase the past
					the tears and the beach
					
				
			i wanted to forget that night
			and drown you in the ocean
			so that i could say for certain

			that you’re not real
			and you never were.
