What They Don't Tell You About the Ocean.
Like water you beat
and you crashed
hoping to hollow me
and that I'd finally relent.
You wanted a cave.
Empty for you to fill,
although still holding
some structure to protect.
But you did not seem
to understand at all.
Or at least
you failed to notice.
My walls collapsed too
down down, and crumble
instead of a shelter
you only got sand.
But sand, sand is a beach
and a beach is not so bad.
You come and wash upon me
still influenced me like you meant.
However again you did not notice,
or at least did not seem to care.
Even sand wears thin
even sand grows tired.
You bashed and battered
hoping I would see.
But now everything is
under your sight line.
You would not hear
your own ferocity
and you could not hear
me over the roar of waves.
And so we are quite now
all my bonds shattered
and nothing left
for you to crash against.
