Memory

Staring at this stone reminds me of you

The curve of the top, is the smile only I could see through 

The way it sits on the ground

It brings back memories

When you started losing pound by pound

And the earth around us began to freeze

The only things I have left are the letters that are torn, ripped and bent

The letters that I should've but never did send

Now it's too late

Life's a Beach (unfinished)

It is ok to walk the shores of truth

With the shallow waves of lies

Where the sea shells are speckled with proof

Be careful not to be swept away by the riptide

 

Wading in, you will find the murky part where sand and water mix

Looking deeper only shows you deceit and tricks
