The Beach
Warm water
Crashes onto the shore
Approaching my feet
Taunting me
Jump in
It’ll be fun
But you may never want to come back
Welcoming waves
Splash against me
Laughing at me for staying so long on the shore
Where my pain meets my joy and leaves me lifeless
As I long
For my troubles
To sail away
And lift me into the sea
