The Never Ending Shore

Everything I do
To put myself in your view
Seems to be in vain
As we follow the paths laid before us

I went through hell
With someone that I wished had meant well.

I was a fool when I didn’t listen
To you as I watched your eyes glisten with rage

At the person who had hurt me so.
I didn’t want to hear
The sheer truth of the words you spoke
Even though I felt my heart was being broke.

A friend showed me the other side of the page
And at first I couldn't see through the rage.

But now I’ve turned to a new page
And with a new chapter comes the knowledge of age

I’ve turned the page to find another truth
A truth that with its peace has balanced out the weight of the rage in my soul

I feel light and free once more
Like a shell washed from the banks of the sea shore back to its home on the ocean floor
A bright light shines on the horizon
Blocking the impending darkness I have felt
Lurking in my mind and heart
But I know it’s only a part
Of the fake world lies that was blown apart

By the strength of the truth I have been shown
And that I have found on my own

Now I stand on the beach looking over the sea
Wondering if true love is but a dream or memory
When I walk I walk alone leaving the remnants of my hollow footsteps in the cool dry sand

Watching my feet as I walk
And having no need to talk
I look to the side
To see the footsteps sent to be my guide
And when I look up I see you walking just ahead of me
I can’t help but think
It is an illusion sent to me
By the powers that be
But then you turn to look at me
  And I know that an illusion it cannot be.

A more pure form of beauty none shall ever see
Than the setting sun hitting the wave of the shining sea
Reflecting in your eyes
Setting off the hues of emerald greens and sky blues
With the truth in mind and such beauty before my eyes
I cannot help but be moved to the soul
And I become lost in the deep troubles of many lies
But you will not let me falter now
You reach your hand for mine
And our fingers intertwine
But I pull away fast
Know that up from the past
Great feelings are born anew
I could not bear you knowing
For though I was not beyond hoping
I knew that our bond was growing
But I could plainly see
That friendship was all there was in your heart for me
Our eyes lock once more
And no matter how hard I try
I cannot hide the feelings on the outside
You only smile and take my hand once more
Guiding me along this never ending shore
And as I look upon the sea
I wonder if I will ever truly be
Peacefully happy.
