I look at the wind blown ripples in the surface of the sand A dry model of the face of the very ocean it boarders Pages upon pages of heartfelt verses I wrote to you . Tides of emotions , tokens of a moment dedicated to thoughts of our love. For me the gratitude of knowing I found yet another way to show you just how much I love you. What now ? Just like in the face of the sand, Footprints , your footprints ,Remnant now As you chose to walk all over my love and dismiss all that I am And chalk it off Into a mere " memory " cold and emotionless those odes Now as worthless as the sand you've walked on . You are the one that gave the life to the works The inspiration What now ? Like a handful of ashes , the fire spent Pieces of my heart , ignited by the burning affection that had resided at the core of my soul since forever , each and every ode Sent to you, afire A piece if me , that loved you Unconditionally Spent , burned out , laid to rest What now ? Did you even realize the deep rooted affection , woven into each line ? Could you tell that the author loved you with all his heart ? Or did it just simply not matter ? Just words ? I look into the pile of pages All the hours , days , and moments. Spent " into you " Did you ever really love me ? What do I do with all of those pieces of my heart ? I gave them to you ? For you And now I look back upon them, Hundreds Just laying there Discarded , laden with your footprints Everything we shared , just a painful reminder , of what was , And what will never be A spent heart , a pile of letters With no other purpose but you, And sobbing , I think to myself " what now ?
