tried and true,
this pain is not new,
I welcome it like a friend,
I seem to know,
but never show,
the cognizance of my own end.
kicking and screaming,
the sun stops gleaming,
but i know of the ocean's fare.
the lighthouse is dying,
the stratus are crying,
I am stripped down and left to bare.
bandage to wound,
with red seeping through,
I stand on broken toes.
but no one is there,
not a sound in the air,
and I remain alone with only my woes.
