Waves

by emily-raso

She came here crashing inside this hollow chest of mine. Glided on a wave as if she practiced it another time. I said young lady, you don't come round here anymore. She said "I'm the Aussie remember? I've come back for more. I got sent away, now it seems I'm here to stay. Take my hand dear, I've got a plan for today." We watched the waves come crashing against our tired feet, I told her I've got skeletons they even watch me when I eat. She said " Dear, you mustn't not forget, at least those weary bones don't lay with you in bed. I got issues, I got problems, I got war inside this mind of mine, which is why I came to watch the waves collapse into the tide."
