The sound of the waves crashed
the world was fading fast
all she seen was the fading sea
she was leaving with him hoping it would last
she left her world behind
her family and her best friend for life
she was too in love with him to stay
but it hurt and cut like a knife
time went on without stall
he soon left her in tears
becoming scared and alone
an in a new world she gained new fears
soon her dreams carried memories
old ones of home, and the tide
of friends not forgotten
memories she has failed to hide
as time continues to pass
she had found a way there
tired and weary she journeys once more
combing away her now gray hair
old now she had a cane
the sand still feels the same
as she sits on the wall
she looked to see who came
“hi” she swallowed the lump
the woman just sat on the wall
“welcome back home” was all she said
with that her tears began to fall.
