Walk On The Beach

Blow out the candles and turn off the lights.

Try to let the memories die this time,

No reason left to fight.

Take one last walk on the beach.

Retracing footsteps of the past,

Pondering failed attempts at peace.

Hear the whispers calling on the wind.

Stories echo hollow in my chest,

Laments the death of a once dear friend.

The things I was so thankful for,

Tenets of a forgotten faith.

Lost to the tides forevermore.

Darkness holds a cold embrace.

Though I tried as I thought best,

The fate I have made cannot be escaped.

The totality of choices left drifting on the sea.

Pay the ferryman his coin,

I was always just a memory.
