as I wake each morning after
like the waves beat the sand
our love written on my heart
fades away, slips off my hands

hands I used to hold on
to the last flicker, to feed the flame
alone I tried to carry on
but only left my pride to shame

shame led me to seek
the independence I needed
but did not want to admit
I found advice and heeded

heeded my mind to some extent
shunned my heart for it brought me pain
began to hate it and hold contempt
lashing out in anger to abstain

abstain from making contact
to a fading memory, a lost love
to the things written in the sand
and walk away from what I was made of

of life, of love, of soul
as broken, as hurt, as torn as
the not completely whole
but everything fades away as…

as I wake each morning after
like the waves beat the sand
our love written on my heart
fades away, slips off my hands…

Don't Fall.. Rise in Love

Very sad, Star Fairy 2.  I am impressed by your work.  I especially liked the connection with the sea.  Great work!

~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack,
Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare,
Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water,
Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha
