She stares into the blue oblivion above her, without the blemish of clouds its pale silk, pulled taunt over the horizon. The sun hung behind her, stretching her shadow until it broke on the white waves. Salt floats on the ocean breeze, overwhelming her senses and blurring her mind; but still all she can think about is him, still under the covers, not knowing shes left.
Her dress whips at her ankles, her curls hurricane off her shoulders. The winds pulling her to the sea, wanting to whisk her away from her life, she can't help but hope it does. But she plants herself, her head pillowed on the white sand, her eyes lulled closed by the rhythmic waves.
Dreams turned to nightmares, his infidelity shaking her awake to see shes still alone on the beach. Her legs pulse forward, to the dock where her boat bobs. The sail finally catches, the bow splitting the water clean. times no issue for her, the note's on her pillow, the boats stocked for months. It was time for her to leave and find something better.
