high by the beach
Sometimes i like to get high on beaches at night time
I like to inhale the chemicals
And exhale my fears
I like the feeling of the sand
Cool and soft and silky
Like the sheets on the bed that valentine’s day
Sometimes i like to get high on beaches at night time
I like the feeling of the wind sprinting off the ocean
I like how cold and constant it is
And i like how it makes me more cold but less numb
I like the sound of the waves
Their water is infinite widened pupils
I cannot see the sharks but i know theyre there
I cannot see my emptiness but i know it is there
I cannot see myself without you but i know im here
I am without you
So sometimes
Sometimes i like to get high on beaches at night time.
Because it makes loving you hurt a little less.
