I stood barefoot at the edge of the shore
Sick of memories with you I greatly deplore
Betrayal stood next to me at the beach
For the person I hoped for was far out of reach
No looking back or hesitation shown
I jumped in the ocean and went on my own
Perhaps I should not with skies so grey
No one should swim with winds so great
I was drowning in water as I did your name
For deep in the blue no sun can remain
Your words are the seaweed that coils my neck
I reached up above but my hand met no deck
The intense tide drew me far from the shore
There's no one for me to scream at anymore
The madness and storms became a sea rover
My soul only longed for it to be over
Water filled up my lungs but fear left my brain
In a moment I relived the isolation and pain
The girl I could have been if it wasn't for you
She encompassed my body and soon my hope flew
A new determination of what could be
Soon became stronger than what you did to me
I untangled myself from the seaweed below
Kicked and pushed my legs til' the surface would show
Gasping for breath I swam back for sand
God I loved the ocean but needed the land
The wind tugged my legs and my arms grew weak
But still I persisted for the life I would keep
I quickly collapsed on the cuff of the beach
My hatred for you clung on like a leech
I threw up the water like my love for you
As I fell apart and became someone new
I kicked the water and sobbed and loudly screamed
Passionate words both cruel and mean
You cowardly bastard, where are you now?
You'd just walk away if I were to drown?
My words left my throat until it was sore
Screaming in wind as I stood on the shore
How the hell could you do this to me?
You left me all alone
Angry with the Sea

الشعرa place where I've written my feelings when I felt them. it has become a story of depression and recovery, love and loss, hope and fear, and everything in-between. mostly poetry, sometimes stories. :)
