Broken On the Sand

Broken on the sand
Shattered over rocks
Standing at the end of forever
Tittering on its jagged edge
I stand and look down
The memories swirling like mist
As they rise to greet me
There I’m meeting for the first time
The seed starts to grow
There I’m laughing
I’m happy
Forever is eternity then
There I’m opening myself
Just a little not to sure
There together like one
Giving just a little more
There making promises
Hesitant 
Giving a little more
There
Crying, fighting, yet stronger
I’m opened
There a laugh
There a hug
There a kiss
More mist
Swirling 
Swirling
There the soft touch of skin
There the warm breath on my cheek
There walking together
Sharing yet no words are spoken
The sun of forever still rising in the east
Swirling
There
I’ve given everything
It felt so good
It took so long
There some words said regretfully
There some pain
There a tear
There brushing them away
There together
There forever
The mist everywhere
Enveloping my body
Hiding the ground
I’m floating 
Weightless
I see
Three years ago
Two years ago
One
Time moving fast
Rapidly
Rushing
Toward something
Faster it goes
Forever
It will never reach it
Faster
I look away
Time blurs by
Faster 
Faster 
Faster
It stops, all is quiet
The mist fades away
Here I am standing 
Standing at the end of forever
Standing on it’s edge
Shattered
Broken
Alone
Looking down
Looking back
Black
So black
Slowly
Ever so slowly
I fall
Fall
Slowly
Then faster and faster
I feel nothing
There is nothing
Broken 
Shattered 
Alone
Forever
