standing at the water's edge
as the tide rolls in
playing its little game
of give and take
watching the waves crash in
and errode the beach
like you did my heart
so long ago
here i stand, upon the spot
were you told me
you didn't love me
anymore, breaking
my heart in two
standing at the water's edge
watching the water recede
leaving the broken sand
exposed to the world
for all to see
the memories remain
here at the water's edge
a giant repository
for all my sorrow
you left me with
