I write your name, gently, in the sodden sand
Cursive with embellishments, overall, something elegant and quite grand
Only to have the sea wrench it away
The waves tugging at my ankles forcing me to wobble and sway
Leaving me the emptiness of the sand and a gift of a shell
And as I came to a realization, through the darkness of the sea I fell
That you had jumped from that rocky cliff and left me alone
My final memory of you being constructed of blood and bone
When there was so much left to do, left to see
But you cut our list short when you left me.
