Love's Shoal

Last tendered lifeline sought as battered psyche under your bellowing wave rips Final act of penance remitted from bleeding, parched lips Hemorrhaging from bandaged sorrows that only strerile soul doth eclipse A hollow stare from deserted strand harboring the wreckage of two, desolate ships Posture now callous bearing the scars of your shallow, superficial preening grips Disheveled hair, limp dividend declaring inferior complex that from each emotive strand drips Pale, drawn face; vessel sunken from draining sinkholes as our relationship dips  Pensive smile revealing the fault line of each strained shock as chasm deeper slips Shuttering ears filtering out the rehearsed, rhapsodic notes of your telepathic scripts Token, parting gesture from arrhythmic heart erasing each beat as your radar blips
