Crashing Waves

Waves of emotion crash on me

As if I were the shoreline

The tides take me by surprise

And I fall weak

With no light house to shine down

To see how helpless I am

How lost at sea I really am

Among these rocks I’m thrown against

My tears fall as if they were grains of sand

I fear the storm that impedes my rescue

For not only will it leave me stranded

But it will also kill me

With the gentle mist of the sea as a final kiss

This storm that brings forth these emotions

 Buries me in the rubble of

The castles I built with my tears

As the waves crash against me

I begin to drift out to sea

Towards the ship that was to be my

Rescuing refuge

Caught in the storm I succumb to my fate

…

The storm passes and my ship takes up anchor

Too late for me your spot light ignited the water around me

Revealing my body

Quickly pulled upon the deck

Cold and blue my body is racked with the emotional damage

What if’s and if only’s race through your mind

But it’s not your fault and you come to realizes it’s not

Somehow though by some miracle

The same gentle mist that gave me my kiss

That kiss that was meant to be my final

Awakens me as wave begin to crash against the ship

The clouds break and the sun’s rays bring forth

Emotions of hope

Night falls and the rains come

Not the same rains that came with the storm

But a rain that not as gentle as the mist

Has cleaned my wounds and embraced me

And when I thought hope was gone

I found it was the water around me

That kept me alive until my ship

Could carry me home to safety
