Like Pebbles On a Beach
We became like pebbles on a beach
touching in the depths, caressing in the shallows
Crystal waves, crested us above the deep abyss
In ever ending caress, we were carried together,
brushing, embracing tribulations as we progressed
The further we were washed, the more we became estranged
Stranded we eventually became, the depth in our love drifted amidst
Slowly, different tides brought different waves
Cross currents were gradually pulling us apart
Discarded like driftwood, with it's meaning of existence
What we were, and what we had became eroded
It reached the point, where we couldn't communicate
All became lost as we entered our abyss
We aged like pebbles on a beach, only to be turned into broken stones
