My Death Now Or To Come
As the surf hits the rocks below Legend’s Bluff
My dreams smash with them, to broken shards
Reflecting upon this moment and all moments past
My left foot tempts fate by stepping closer to the edge
It wasn’t long ago, we both sat here watching the sunset
Her eyes reflected the crystal blue of the water
Our hearts, together, sounded, pounded, louder than the surf
They were happy days then, lost to the forgotten wind now
But here I stand with that wind at my back
Pushing me into the possibility of eternal regret
Continue on or turn away?
Questions I alone will know the answer to
