Protect Yourself
Protect Yourself
from whatever it is
that you are afraid of.
Pretend it isn't there.
Make hundreds of excuses
but the reality is
it isn't any less real.
See the image reflected in the mirror?
Protect yourself
from the truths hidden there
in my impassioned eyes
that rise and fall like ebb and flow.
the very heartbeat of the surf.
Pretend our love is like a crested wave.
It will not drown or wash away,
it is the actuality of our being here
once in love rising and falling like the tide
always returning to the shore
back to your heart
and ripped away from mine
when you said goodbye one last time.
