Poem
Walking along the shore I came across a broken shell I called out your name But, there was no answer despite how loud I would yell The shell was chipped and had a large crack along its side I cherished it despite its flaws Until a giant wave crashed down upon me and stole it with the tide My shell was lost forever and would never again be found Again, I called out for you Again, no response as if my voice made no sound A warming sun folded away into the hills as it faded into night I wished upon the first star I saw I wished to be loved by you and that you would hold me tight The once smiling sun was replaced by crying clouds and a frowning moon My heart began to play a song just for you But the beat carried such a sad tune Every melody reminded me of the person I once knew I forced myself to turn off the musiic In order to stop thinking about you I fell asleep inside a blanket of sand and I lived inside a dream It was there that you answered my calls and stood beside me But when I woke I was reminded that it was not as simple as it may seem My tired bloodshot eyes seemed to have run out of tears They stopped crying when you don’t answer I continued my journey ready to face my fears I looked down and found another shell which had been washed in from the sea Inside it held a beautiful pearl I began to call your name but stopped because I knew you would not answer me I picked up the shell and continued walking along the shore My new shell was perfect But I still missed the one I had before I held onto it tightly so that it wouldn’t be stolen by the tide My grasp was so strong it tore a gash into my skin The fear of losing it began causing me pain inside The gash became infected and caused my hand to swell I turned around to look for help I saw you standing there holding onto my old shell
