One Way Street

I'm standing on the edge of the dock,

Watching the wild waves,

Boldly break across the rocks on the smooth shore.

My heart starts to beat like a drum

As my skin starts to tremble tremendously

Like a lush leaf.

The fear starts to wash all over my body

Like a terrific tidal wave.

But as I see your battered body

Laying limp in the ravaged water,

I know I must jump.

So I use my body like a warm blanket

And save you from the searing storm.

The fear vanishes when I see

Your sapphire eyes quickly open

And your sweet smile

Appear on your face.

I kiss your soft cheek

As I pull you up to your feet.

I help you across the soggy sand,

But I trip over a sharp stick,

As a wild wave

Grabs me with its fierce fingers

And drags me into the

Scorched sea.

I wave my hands from side to side

As the darkness starts to

Silently suffocate me.

I wait for you to rescue me

But your body stands motionless

Like a significant statue.

And all I see before I am

Succumbed by the somber shade

Is your searing smile

Which slices my heart,

Even before it stops.
