The Tidal Wave

The Tidal Wave I saw a tidal wave come in, Raging winds and fierce water Rushed, Took the houses, cars, trees, Street signs, park benches, Pictures of loved ones (Poor baby Louie, 3 years old washed away) And along with all the power It tore my heart out of my cage And swept it out to the Endless seas, And the great white sharks Have their way with my heart. Now bleeding and dying, Pain follows me, And I close my eyes, And wish it all to be done. Pray for me, I want pain no more. See tears fall from the corners of my eyes, As I breathe in and feel no heartbeat. And they all look at me, Faces of nomads and they snicker At me, I hang my head and cry tears, But the tears were washed Away in the tidal wave, So I sit there, Eyes closed And I sleep the night away. -10/2/2013-
