Sitting on the edge of the lighthouse searching for some kind of closure I mourn watching the old dock dock crumble from the sea's exposure Spray stains my face with salt hiding the tears that freeze on my cheeks Summers of leaping into the waves and responding to the water with high shrieks I thought it would be too hard to come back here- the memories still mark my heart I almost didn't - afraid the empty horizons would remind me of my missing friend Trepidation built barbed wire fences around my soul not wanting me to depart tomorrow's forecast is the same as when we didn't listen- the day it all had to end Driving down the road winding around the sea, passing the diner on the shore I feel the coming storm in the air in the way braile is the key to a closed door the day we thought we were invincible we realised just how easy we can break we forgot about storm surges and rip tides 'till Leah disappeared under a wave I dove after her and fought the rescuers who actually thought I meant to survive water chilling in late October was a tactile drug- numbing all aspects of my soul head in icy waves I heard the sirens of the ambulance I thought it was Leah's cry I get up and don't look back knowing if I see where i lost my sister- I'll lose control |
