Yesterday’s Waiting

Every step on this beach of volcanic sand,

Watching the crystal waves as they depart,

I watch as my mind has flashes of the past,

Smaller footsteps walking across the crisp soil and green grass,

I can still feel the summer breeze on my back,

The sound of sea foam gushes into my ears,

As I hold back my tears of sorrow

The rocks sit between the land and sea,

I feel like those rocks when it comes to my family,

One side always fighting, the other wanting peace,

If only our troubles could be carried away,

Like the salt sea on this light breeze,

It wasn't always this way but things changed,

Divorce, death, and deception ruined us,

So, I ran off

Now, I stand on this endless beach with white cliffs,

Thinking about the what if's,

Trying to find answers in the bluest part of the waves

I'm waiting for the return of yesterday.
