ebbed and flowed,
assisted by the steady gravitational pull of the moon,
has gone out
and stayed out.

I’m knotted up inside
Knit one purl one
As panic starts to rise
Slip one drop one
Tears betray my eyes

I threw the dice today,
But the numbers didn’t stack up.
I forced you to be honest,
And now my heart is broken.

While my inner child cries.

Damn you for making me believe in you then leaving me

The sea roars majestically
Wave after wave, a foam of salt water
Like my tears, a reminder we are part of the earth, of the sea
Our time here is so short
Like each wave that hits the shore
A Man Who Cried

That day,
When you broke down,
I cradled you in my arms,
Astonished by your pain.
