Each day
she brushes them back
but they return
and slowly begin to burn.
Flowing like ocean waves
they come back and forth.
Each tear drops in the ocean
and she tries to contain her emotion.
Pain never seems to dissipate.
She was always far away
from her lighthouse in the night
while she'd searched for a light.
She drowns in her overflowing tears
and waves her hands
for a sign of safety
but she's lost in the crying sea.

Each day
she brushes them back
but they return
and slowly begin to burn.
Flowing like ocean waves
they come back and forth.
Each tear drops in the ocean
and she tries to contain her emotion.
Pain never seems to dissipate.
She was always far away
from her lighthouse in the night
while she'd searched for a light.
She drowns in her overflowing tears
and waves her hands
for a sign of safety
but she's lost in the crying sea.
