It’s over,
this day and a lifetime
of love; of love
I have known
nothing but
his tender goodbyes.
Hello! Hollow sound
drowned by the roar of the surf,
Solitary footprints in the sand
gilded in the glow of
a setting sun, a sun setting
on my fool’s paradise.
Wash them away, heartless ocean
Tide me over ‘til death, ‘til death…
…Do I part
from dreams unrealized,
when years of hanging on
have failed?
Grasping for the glittering horizon
a risen wind slaps my face
He loves me not
He loves me not
I stare at the waves as they lap at my feet
again and again and again...
Each time the sea ebbs
I sink
a little deeper
until one day
I'll disappear completely.
Enough, enough
Begin anew ~ I pledge
Loyal, devoted dog, I am no longer
No longer willing
to wait for tomorrow’s sunrise
to live.
To live.
