The tide rolls in, soft and slow, Sweet nothings whispered and repeated by the wind. Soft laughter spilling warmth across my chest, Cut off the feelings dry, as the tide recides, cruel and quiet. pulling warmth and leaving a chilling hollow, questions flare as the tide pulls in. drawing me in, then letting me go again. Making me wonder if this was ever fine, questioning if you just played as mine. i thought you were one of one, nothing like the other ones. But you were just a wave that hit then vanished back into the sea. Making me chase you into the ocean, as you secretly fled. The waves still carry you, yet your shadow stays, leaving nothing but a hollow gaze. yet hollow traces stay in the tide, where secrets drift and settle quiet

the tide
The tide rolls in, soft and slow, Sweet nothings whispered and repeated by the wind. Soft laughter spilling warmth across my chest, Cut off the feelings dry, as the tide recides, cruel and quiet. pulling warmth and leaving a chilling hollow, questions flare as the tide pulls in. drawing me in, then letting me go again. Making me wonder if this was ever fine, questioning if you just played as mine. i thought you were one of one, nothing like the other ones. But you were just a wave that hit then vanished back into the sea. Making me chase you into the ocean, as you secretly fled. The waves still carry you, yet your shadow stays, leaving nothing but a hollow gaze. yet hollow traces stay in the tide, where secrets drift and settle quiet
