Waves

We were somehow
The most beautiful
Thing together.
Our reflection
Clearer than any other
In the mirror
That the lake held.

But just like a stone
She came
Into the lake
Distorting the reflections
Blurring the dreams.

We were like the waves,
Waves that
Always make their way
Back to the shores
No matter how far they go away.
No matter how stormy they turn.

But just like a
Fiery rain she came,
Drying up the oceans
We sailed in.
Making the waves disappear.
Watching us drowning,
Drowning into the
Setting sun.
