I cast my hope into the sea,
A fragile light, a desperate plea.
The waves arise, they pull it down,
No voice remains, no love is found.

Her name still lingers in the tide,
A ghost that will not leave my side.
I call, I reach, but waters take,
And every breath begins to break.

Yet still, I hope, though hope betrays,
A dying spark in endless waves.
I sink, I fade, I disappear,
And hope, once bright, is nowhere near
