Petals In The Grass

The Tide

Not wanting to be here
While walking the beach
Can touch the edge of the ocean
It's within reach
Sleepy anguish
Needing to disappear
Treading the waters of torment
Where sullen memories persevere
Riding the current to nowhere
Kissing the waves
Floating towards indifference
It's what my mind craves
Let the ocean carry me away
Drift slowly, not wanting to remain
Patiently waiting
For the tide that never came
