Beseech

The waves took our memories
And washed them out to sea
When bitter truth was spoken
In words you didn’t want to be
Revealed like a shell on a beach
As I spoke and chose to beseech
You left like the tide, in your retreat
After fighting on ground, we couldn’t meet
You stayed in a life tangled by lies
I stood alone, where the seagull flies
Where pain cut the years of family ties

This was sad Heidi. I could feel the loneliness and pain in this. Nicely done though, you have expressed these emotions wonderfully

Memories of parting sorrow...holidays can make one feel alone. This poem feels the pain of past conflict.
