Shadows on the Ocean - 1. Chapter 1
Shadows on the Ocean
Alone
Hiding under the covers
I dread the coming of morning
The golden rays to throw light on the walls
Reminding me I’m alone
The pillow and blanket mounds
Shaped in the night
‘Til one could almost pretend they were human
A lovers arms
Melt away in the dawn
The illusion torn
Showing nothing but the black and white cloth
The railway stitching
I shiver and lay there
Unwilling to move
Squeeze my eyes shut
For one more dream
Where I'm not here
with the sound of thunder in the distance
pounding to the beat of my heart
Where I'm somewhere far away
And strong arms hold me
Pull me close
Say “I'll never let you go" and "I won't let it get you"
It’s all a lie
Never becomes tomorrow
“I love you” becomes “so long”
What we had
In the light
Means nothing
Just another verse in a wordless song
And me drifting
Eternally
Held in place by this raging storm
