we are free and alone at sea

I wish this heart belongs
to you
and you’d want it back.
I’d say take it, take it back
I don’t need it anymore
my chest wants to be free
from you.
It wants to feel light
and hallowed out,
it wants to be filled with air,
it wants to float
and drift
and swim
the sea,

and one day it will learn what it is to miss the shore,
maybe.
