Dismal Tide
I still remain gone
On water's edge
Overcast by vagueness;
Save laughter's memory
Radiating cruelly from
Contentment's horizon
Trembling as I fade further
With each stolen tear
Your gentle tide
Creeps upon my shore
Despondency recedes
As your tranquil water
Rises curiously at my feet
A wave of welcomed calmness
Washing over me suddenly
Still,
There is a whisper of loss,
A haunting emptiness inside
Slowly
Weakening me,
Until my heart
Breaks silent,
Under its own
Troubled weight
Yet, as it drifts away
With life's dismal tide,
I do nothing, except watch
With a cold indifference
Standing there lost inside myself,
I stare down at my reflection
So hollow
So pale
So numb
While your water swiftly rises,
Filling my empty chest
No warmth
No hope
No Love
Lost on me
Remain certainties
I cannot forget,
Before fatigue
Crashes upon
My final dream
And I surrender completely,
Slipping away
With the slumbered tide
Forever
