The stars sat nestled
in the shady pits of the sky,
while I sat nestled in my troubles helpfully covered by a thin sheet
on the shore of a faraway beach.
Reckless driving had brought me there and I had sleeplessly wandered
for hours upon hours
longing for something different,
something new.
The shells pricked my skin through my clothes and a soft haze
coated the glowing sand
as the waves ran in and out,
washing away the sand and a foreign hope within me wished
the waves would wash me away too.
The sea,
vast
and expansive.
Somewhere,
stood another individual
also captured by the same thirst for wandering
entangled in similar thoughts
upon another s h o r e l i n e.
Maybe it was the longing,
that made an appearance within me
to reach out
to another person
and tell them everything.
Maybe it was the loneliness
that I wanted to rid myself of,
maybe it was the
strong,
ache that grew around my heart
as I watched others interact with their loved ones
because
somewhere within me,
that's what I desired
and I desired it deeply
to feel love,
to feel happiness,
to feel pain,
to feel human again.
