The Sea Took You Away From Me

Whenever I see a boat My heart sinks and doesn't float From heavy pain being caused The day a huge wave has tossed Your love from my life forever Now I feel I can never Step onto a dock again Or new heartaches will begin Thinking back when we could sail Through any storm we'd prevail But now the port into my soul Has been crushed as you control The memories in the back Of my mind that you attack With the breezes that blow through Chilling me with ghosts of you It was supposed to be so great As we tried to set a date For the perfect wedding plans Engagement ring upon my hand Sparkling with the light of sun There was just one place to run Right into a brand new day Our love would have led the way 'To a future filled with light Two hearts burning really bright Until they were killed by the Power of an angry sea Flipping our love boat violently As you tried to rescue me Pushing me up from the wave Thinking that we both were saved Until your grip on me would waiver No feeling was ever graver As I saw you drown below Into a grave so dark and shallow Leaving me alone to wonder If this heavy guilty anchor Will ever become untied But every time that I've tried My heart feels it has sank And my love life walked the plank Jumping overboard to leave Me alone in life to grieve

This is a great and moving poem, Robin. So wonderfully full of love and expectation and so sad. The anchor of guilt can certainly keep a person from ever getting beyond that point. Very heartbreaking tale..... Robert.
