Here, was the centre of the universe

Your name left my lips to carve
eternal mark on the rocks,
I took my love and hid it underneath
where no one will see.

“One day, all of my regrets are going to kill me.”

I closed my eyes and the sand swallowed my toes.
There was saltiness on my fingertips
And I wanted to believe that the sea was mourning for us.
But as the sun rose, the horizon cleared and everything became light,
I had to turn away from the heaviness in my eyes.

I left you underneath the rocks, with flowers growing in between;
the sun, the sand and the sea as your company.
My steps were breadcrumbs, marking the sacred path.
I walked forward, resigned and heavy
to wait for the day when all the ghosts
will return for me.

"I love you."

I love you the most who
was the apple plucked from my eye.

There is a hole in my chest where you
laid your head once.
Sometimes I cover it gently with my hands,
but most times it is too enormous to bear.
