Someday I'm going to be alone in thes big world and
There will be no piece of sea glass paired with me; I will be the sole shard at the bottom of your sink after you wash out your bathing suit
I will be alone and dreaming of the day you return to me to pick me up and marvel at my crystal shining beauty and you wonder how you ever lost me in the first place
I will sit on the porcelain, fighting against every wave of her dishwater until you stumble onto me, until you tell her to leave me alone and you choose me this time
I will lie in your hands, like I always did
and I will trust you not to lose me again

ooo I like this...your metaphor is quite unique
If you were my piece of sea glass I would keep you with me forever and ever and believe me, then you would be begging to be washed away...

Excellent work

P.S. love the signature

maybe i'll catch fire, something nice to warm me. something pure to burn away the darkness, that hides inside my mind. -alkaline trio-

Nice post. I think it would read a lot better if you broke up the lines a little more. It reads more like prose than a poem so if you were going for prose you've done a well enough job but otherwise break 'em up.

Imagination=nostalgia for the past, the absent; it is the liquid solution in which art develops the snapshots of reality.
