left at the shore with open arms
allowing the waves to crash into my already broken body
i cannot leave this spot
where the memories collide with my sorrow
the water gives me more sentiments
than i was able to emote while i stood near you
it refuses to give in
the relentless pull of the tide from under my feet
and its great force pushing me down
my body may be broken
but my soul remains intact
farther from you i am content
here
i can lay to rest the body that you took from me
here
i will allow my soul to break free from this tattered vessel
hollow
and let the earth and water give birth to something free
