We Are Castaways


Decorative heart in between wings

We are separated, drifting further and further apart with each passing wave.

Our rafts have separated and I have tried to tie them together countlessly.


But with every rift, the ties loosen.


I'm running out of rope and we're lost at sea.


There's no one around anywhere I can see.

No one to ask for help besides you and me.


I try to hold us together with my calloused and cold hands, gripping as tightly as I can to what we have left.


I grab ahold so tightly I can feel my shoulders popping out of place.


As I run out of rope, I look to you and realize you never tried to tie a knot to keep us together.
