Sandwater

Tonight I cry, I cry for a lost chance, One that she never gave me. When the fireworks burst at midnight So did my heart, But she was oblivious to all of this. I sat chasing my eyes into oblivion, Yet her image haunted me, challenged me and attacked me. Her beautiful eyes, her flowing hair, Her radiant image and bright smile. Her smooth lips which I longed to kiss, All destroyed me. Now... I cry. It isn't her fault. Yet now... I cry. Slowly, tingles roll down my cheeks Slowly, Slowly, like a funeral procession. Then, A tear slipped into my mouth, And I prepared for the bitter taste of my heart. But my tongue held a surprise, For my tear was mixed with sand. Sandwater rolled even slower, It left traces behind, Like a dying flame, Slowly burning away, giving off chips of fire. Soon only sand would roll down from my eyes, Only sand could after all, Sand from a love that had gone dry.
