"The Shore"

The cold winter sun shines your hair like petals 'round your pretty face
We talked for a while but you looked right through me to another place
I love you, more than anyone here washed up on the shore
Is that why you've asked me not to tell you anymore?

I saw when we spoke that you've become what you love
Your eyes are the sea
For I wasn't in their reflection, though I stood in between
You and the Water

You trust in hopeless things
the wind and water bring
and leave upon the sand
Waiting every day,
wading through the waves
And grasping with your hands

and now I see
It will take more than this
More than I can say; me and all my words,
My words don't matter to you
