Water's Edge

Water’s Edge

I step to the Edge
Waiting for the tide to subside
Always waiting for the wintry coolness
To find calm within my dispirited soul
That pines for you forevermore.
Quietly I mourn
For the day of agony is near
Death of our love I fear
Time to say goodbye
Tears of grievance flow from the darkened skies
Clouds of Euphoria all that consoles me
With their ever changing forms of wonder
Allowing me to understand the meaning of being free
Crying out for feelings that have long ago passed us by
To two souls that fit together perfectly
Omission is the same as lies
And that you refuse to see
Taken in by another’s eternal beauty.
In my eye you’ve dishonored us
By giving up on what once was.
I see the flow of water
Running deep into the precipice
The drop is overwhelming familiar.
I step to the water’s edge where the waves,
They lap against the receding shore line
In all their timeless repetition
They wait ever so patiently
Unwilling to see me leap out into the unknown
Carrying out what is left of my destiny.
I walk down the path of despair
Healing the wounds of time
Feeling the unforgiving current
Underneath the water I spin round and round
For in the water’s Edge is where I willingly drown.
