Wrote this after a difficut breakup this past summer. |
Destructive title wave flooded my land Gone is my paradise, crushed by her hand One wave and my foundation was shook One look from another, that's all it took The garden I planted now without seed Why didn't she seek caution, take heed? Now the waters run and furious they bleed Forced to change where the river runs less Clarity of mind put to the test The willow weeps, yet dry is the sand The roots have rotted where the tree must stand Clouds of misery haunting the light Images and voices ruin the night Quickly you swam to another shore Ripped from my book are the pages you tore The chapters we wrote are burned in a flame One must seek fire to quench out the blame Heated desire difficult to tame Will it ever wash the hurt and the shame? The safety net you need is beginning to crumble The ground is cracked and I fear to stumble Must ride the wave surfing life's trials Too much poison, eliminate the vials The branches are weak but new life I seek The mountain I climb, the path to the peek is surrounded by stone, the support I seek Clear the debris so new steps are lead Catastrophy and destruction is the life I fled New beginnings bring hope and peace I must restrain the angry beast The road ahead seems many a mile But again I find my humorous smile Clear the floor, rip up the tile You're becoming just a deleted file Don't hold your breath I'll be gone for awhile... |
