Chapter 1
I am searching for my
treasure

I can’t seem to find
the deep hole I dug

I need to find him

Chapter 2
I’ve looked everywhere
on the little island
called “My Heart”

I’ve explored every wave
of laughter every mountain
of pain

I spot a ship leaving the
shore

Chapter 3
This ship is strange
not the usual that brings
in delight or despair

I see a figure on the boat

I’ve found my treasure

Chapter 4
I’m sprinting down the shore
calling his name. The island
pulsing as my feet smack the
sand

I get closer and see a figure
on the boat

Chapter 5
I then realize that his hand is
embracing hers. I stop running.
The ship is sailing away. My
island has split into two as my
love disappears into the now
waves of tears
