Empty Shore
To find one day you have suddenly gone
leaving emotions in such a sad silence
with unwilling consent and the gray dawn
emptiness will ask me for compliance
I spend each breath walking an empty shore
to trace faded steps we made by the sea
left to the din of life I feel no more
to know now that life has no guarantee
the clouded horizon seems closer now
as tides are rising to wash away time
with their churning ripples that slow somehow
to pull back when my pain begins to climb
the last glow from your last evening's sun
leaves me alone as the night has begun
