Simply a heartache

That mends and dulls

With the passage of cruel time

I watched your footsteps

Dissolve in the ocean waves

Crashing on the sandy shores

Where once a love stood

Drinking deep from the wine

Of eternity

The cup has run dry

And crusted with the rusty red

Of what was once

And what will not be

For another eternity

In a simple tear

That stains the ground

With countless others

That have fallen before

Creeping and seeping through the cracks

Of a life broken in two
