Everything that I have become
And all that you are

Collides

Defeating and out-beaming
The very horizon,
That gave us reason.

The tide that once left us barren
Has stripped our turpentine tinged hearts
Of the poison
that would have been near death--
leaving both of us blind;
counting our regrets

The unmarked streets
And left behind cars
Reap melodies from that summer,
and all of its shooting stars.

Hands that came together,
the pleasure in the fame--
the feeling that we hid,
the wind stinging both of our brains,

So comfortable on that piece,
Of forbidden land
fingers interlaced,
Toes deep in sand

And when the tide came back,
I saw it on your face--
The sadness behind your eyes,
You had to leave this place.

The crash had come too soon--
And the sky had hung too dark,
all feeling left the room,
And I watched the tide tear us apart.
