Walking Away

Walking Away

A Poem by lb

 

 

Cool drink in my hand

I walk down the steps to our beach below

Step into the water

so cold, refreshing it is

I get lost in each wave that hits me

Listening to the water roar

feeling it wash me further from  shore

Looking into the moonlight

seeing the stars twinkle tonight

One last picture of you goes through

my mind

Saying I truly loved you

the world wanted `n still wants to destroy you

I lifted you up they tear you down

 you walk away from me`n walk into the sea

Why did we ever have to meet

Why did I need to know this love

only to have it taken from me

How is it you can be so cold

Why couldn't you stand on you own

Why is it I'm left still feeling you

I thought when you said goodbye

 the feeling would leave too

Seeing you everywhere I go

wanting to reach out`n touch your hand

Hold you in the middle of the night

calm your fears`n tell you I understand

Yet you left me no chance

You took to the bottle`n to the sea

there's nothing left for me to do

Except try`n forget about you

Is that even  possible to do

I have the rest of my life to try`n do just that

Why couldn't you just stay strong

I wouldn't have led you wrong

Why did the addiction to the darkness have to

take you

Why did you have to listen to  the song

that the sea sings to you

Why did you have to leave this world

There is so much more you were meant to be

so much more you were meant to do

When I walk by the waters edge

first thing I do is look for you

Realizing you're truly gone

there's nothing left to do

but walk away

telling you I will still love you
