lost and drowned

Over land i did travel in hopes of escaping
you and your painful memory
airports and bus stops, here and there stations
the further away the closer i got to me.
looked across the desert at the sand as it drifted
making shapes like that of your face
grabbed a handful of grains and watched them slip through my fingers
in silent soliloquy.
kept moving to get to that unihabitated zone the space they call alone
stood at waters edge and shouted profanities at the ocean
certain the waves would crash in to me
angry and bitter like bridesmaid dress without a reception
the long walk was just a deception
sat on a rock and cried a tear that wouldnt stop falling
took out a pencil and wrote it all down
sometimes lost is love that can never be found
