Distant Shores Iii

I walk away from the bungalow, sand in my toes I try to forget you, all the hurt and my woes Life seems unfair at times, it doesn’t make sense I thought you loved me, it must have been pretense I walk along the rocky cliff as I start to head back As I peer over the cliff the water looks so black Feeling depressed, I want to jump into the water My life has been so crazy, would it really matter? I get closer to the edge and I hear someone yelling I feel large arms pull me away, it is so compelling A beautiful man has a hold of me and doesn’t let go He said I could have been killed, as if I didn’t really know He grabbed my hands and led me down the rocks He asked if we could sit, try to relax and have a talk I said no, and started to argue with some heated strife He smiled, as he said I would since he just saved my life We walked to our cars, weirdly parked so close He said his name is Frank and lives here on the coast He said he lives alone and wants to bring me there I agreed, not really caring about myself to have any fear 8/11/19 Contest: Writing Challenge 1, August 2019 - Just Write Sponsor: Dear Heart

Intriguing, the cliff dive may end up being preferable.
