Ocean’s Trust
With a stick I drew my heart
Deep into the wet sand
Far from the waves
It was crooked and more like a circle
But it was my heart
And everyday I’d sit next to it
Watching you
Hearing you
Dreaming of you
You’d swim in the deep waves
Riding them
Taming them
They called you the ocean’s trust
But in my heart I called you the one
I watched you swim
Laughing with the waves
I watched my heart
The crooked edges still carved deep into the sand
I waited day after day
Week after week
Month after month
Year after year
Each day I’d retrace my heart
Keeping it circle like and messy
I’d sit in the corner of the beach
My hair growing white
As my hands grew old
You never looked my way
Not even once
Everyday I was there
Sun up to sun down
And you never see me
So my love
It vanished
I walked over to my heart
And with the same stick I used years ago
I drew a little crack right down the middle
It was perfect
Not crooked not messy
A perfect break
And for the rest of my life I was alone
I cried over my heart
My tears washing it away
Until there was nothing left
Nothing but the puddle of tears
High up on the beach
Where the waves could never reach
