We were separated by

a colossal lake of blues

thousands of miles apart;

two cocaine hearts,

one unbreakable bond,

but drugged up to the max

by existential crises

and false promises.

Sappy romance dramas

weren't a part of you

— what have you become?

I became a warrior,

fighting for my true love;

she was my happy ending.

If you loved her so much,

why didn't you make a move?

I was consumed by

this wild, vigorous fear,

of seeing the queen

that ruled my heart

bleeding with sea salt;

I was the boy

who cried shame,

and I didn't want her

to be labelled the same.
