The waves crashed as my knees buckled so straight I could hear my inner thoughts screaming “it’s already too late!” The water, so jagged and blunt with force Threw me and my mind fully off course The amplitude had ceased yet the water remained No matter how hard I tried some parts were not drained I suppose to me you’re like the droplets of water Those little bits that aren’t really a bother But no matter what I know that they’re there I really feel them when my soul is quite bare And no matter how I try to dry them They have become a part of me like a flower to its stem
