Ocean Waves

May 13, 2014

The ocean waves touch my feet

As I walk along the lonely beach

Hands in my pocket, my head held high

Tears streaming down my face

I didn’t want to cry

These memories just won’t fade

How do I get you out of my mind?

I am trying to forget you,

Forget the time we spent

I fall down on my knees

I just wish you had been content

I stand up onto my feet

I slowly begin to walk

I am going home

I will not think about you again

For you are gone, you’re dead,

And that’s the end
