Story of a Shadowed Heart

Kyle C.'s picture

 

The waves were calm

The sand was warm

From that day on

She’d be forever forlorn

 

She met him there

She lost her breath

How she would fare

Would feel like death

She wished to be his

To stay by his side

For as long as she lived

Until the day that she died

 

So her dream was born

When their eyes first locked

Her heart was then sworn

And they hadn’t even talked

 

Her hope began to die

After several years passed

To keep her dream alive

She’d go where they met last

 

She’d visit the beach daily

Simply sitting in the sand

Dreaming to her content

Of holding his hand

 

The visits be came vital

She stayed day after day

Herself, her arms cradled

She had lost her way

 

So she sits and waits

A shadow over her heart

Praying for a day

When he’ll play his part
