Broken Shells
Frigid wind whispers your name
as I walk along the sand beach.
Waves rush to meet me
as I wish you would.
Sea spray touches my lips
as I taste the salt of my tears.
Distant gulls call
thundering roar of the water calling to me
As I walk to the edge
I turn to search for you.
Empty and forlorn is my life.
Meaning...gone.
Loneliness my shadow
as night is my enemy.
Robbing me of sleep
bringing sad moments to mind.
Broken shells on the sand
as your promise of love.
They chip away with time.
Tides bearing me along.
I walk...
icy water numbs my flesh
enveloping my soul as I am free...
