Lost at Sea
In long days' absence, the sun's bright glare,
beats down, a burning shore I cannot leave.
The day is too long, my body in water's snare
but my mind's an ocean, deeper, waves of grief I weave.
Good memories now of pain, like ocean debris, float and stray.
My heart aches for your touch, a fleeting spark that scorched my soul.
You were calm on the outside but stormy emotions on the inside.
Salt stained tears, remembering your smile, my heart's control.
The silence screams, waves crashing on the shore,
A goodbye, cruel words, "I can't, we can't, it's wrong" no more.
Your wound, a darkness, shadows still prevail,
I know you're not like that.
A gentle soul, lost in your own storm torn sea, I implore.
May the Lord bring you peace and heal your wounded heart
and maybe someday, love's waves will bring you back to start.
