Poem
Sea of Broken Dreams By Kevin Robey July 1, 2013 He felt the surge of a soul compromised Seeing the way out of this insanity Found the razor to unveil his disguise Pierced his heart that she once set free The love on his arms was no longer enough The demons he faced were stronger than drugs He raised the red flag; dared to call his bluff Peering down the drain where he pulled the plug He closed his eyes, found relief with a swipe A flick of the wrist vaulted the shining knife Into a flood of relief before a sobering respite A pause in the act that could end his short life Rivers of red brought the moment of dread Oceans like tears flowing from her heart Regretting immediately what must be said Inviting the past where they both fell apart So she closed her eyes, found relief with a knife Fulfilling her end of the deal they both made Crying as the crimson washed out her strife Breaking the promise from which she strayed She corrected the resolve of the ink on her wrist Two swipes in an X put her faith in the past With her promises no longer held in his kiss She sealed off their love in a box made of glass Cast off to sea, filled with her care-free memories She drew a line in the sand as she walked on the beach Forcing this lonely path despite her desperate pleas The heart that he broke, and the trust that he breached He drowned in the sea, surrounded by their memories That he forgot in this moment of temporary insanity She recalled the night that brought him to his knees Then walked away from the sea of broken dreams
