Watermark
Dreams like shadows upon the
water
Water holds secrets beneath
it's murky flesh
Our marriage held an
unspoken lie
You were a saviour
Yet temperamental as the wind
I could not hold you down
It was the watering hole that
we met
Water weathers the rocks
Life weathered our love
The pond you built was not
enough
For my cold feet
I felt you trying
Yet I felt you drifting
Gently as a thistle on the wind
You left me here.
It is true what they say
You left a watermark upon my
heart.
