Ocean's Roar

A raining heart, derailed
just north of love
things that must be done
to protect oneself

Despite my expectant warmth
I find you strangely cold
the trick became transparent
the magic quickly old

A remnant moon shines above us
even in this weak glow, it’s obvious
this affair
is going nowhere

You don’t care to know 
anything about me
yet still you pine for my love

You don’t dare to share
anything with me
yet still you wail for my love

Put the shell up to your ear
is that the ocean’s roar, you hear?
this affair
is going nowhere...

Cythnia, Martin and Kimberly, that's so pleasing to hear. I love it when a poem inspires you to read it more than once. Thank you so much for the feedback.

And thank you to Victoria, Abdul and Adam for pausing to read and 'like' I really appreciate it.

Such a hard piece to read because it breaks your heart over and over again.

I agree with Cynthia this has to be read at least three times and therein lies its beauty.
Love it

I read this three times, and each time it revealed more than I saw before. Lovely words, like water dropletss falling out of a glass, same source, yet all individual.
