The waves crashing on rocks

Directly ahead

Look like you must be out of your mind

For thinking you could leave the past behind

The pieces of pink shells

Scattered on the sand

Look like you must be out of your mind

If you think you could just press rewind

Busy busy ants

Running in six different directions

Look like you must be out of your mind

I remember writing you a goodbye poem in mexico

And waited for you to say alright

But you pretended to leave me stranded without a car

And go to clear your mind

And I thought he could never deny me basic safety

So instead I thought I was weak for deciding to leave you

I assumed it meant that I loved you

But then your fingers in my hair

Shoved my face to the rocks

And I realized you weren’t an ex boyfriend that hurt me

You were a stranger that attacked me in a dark yard one night and stole my belongings,

And that I never loved.
