Can'T Lose Your Heart
I took a long walk
along a short beach
suddenly something washed
up on the sandy shore
I knelt down
and began to reach
then realized it was something
I didn't want anymore
so, I sat myself down
on the sun scorched sand
blindly I stared out
at the meticulous tide
completely unaware of
my still reaching hand
and the ocean of tears
my soul hadn't yet cried
but I couldn't sit still
no, not for very long
so, I got up and started
walking along some more
my emptiness began to sing
a melodic despairing song
and once again, my wretched heart
washed up on the shore
