Watermark

Dreams like shadows upon the water Water holds secrets beneath it's murky flesh Our marriage held an unspoken lie You were a saviour Yet temperamental as the wind I could not hold you down It was the watering hole that we met Water weathers the rocks Life weathered our love The pond you built was not enough For my cold feet I felt you trying Yet I felt you drifting Gently as a thistle on the wind You left me here. It is true what they say You left a watermark upon my heart.
