max

i knew a boy

who was beyond the ocean

beyond the sea

salt

and commotion

i knew a boy who was bigger than me

his horizons were shallow

he told me be free

forget about me

i hear your voice in

the shell

of what we used to be

i pick up my phone

and i hear the ocean

i’m trying to get away

i don’t want to stay

anymore

i’m drowning in these waves

these waves so salty

they taste like tears

i didn’t cry a river

for him,

i cried the ocean
