The sense that love
was sent to hide away
to a place,
far away,
somewhere
to obscure burdens wake,
that feeling
i cannot shake,
everything inside me
simply begins to break,
even the happy parts
don't seem to want to stay,
so here at night
lying awake
heart and soul pierced
by a saddened stake,
waves of depression
crashing on the shore,
sands of happiness
i once wore,
pulling them into the deep,
the sand, the waves
so beratingly tore,
unable to move,
imprisoned
by my driftwood stake
constraining love’s untimely fate.
so deeply my sands,
surely the waves
wouldn't take.
but here i am
watching it all ride away,
helplessly,
on burdens wake
my love,
i wish
it didn't take
