Reading Between the Lines. Let My Words Cry.

Her Lovely Fate (An Original)

A girl bound to hopes and dreams

stared out across the endless sea.

Salty mist and gloomy clouds

and bitter tears are what called her out.

A grainy blanket warmed her feet,

the only comfort she received.

Eyes to waves, the connection was made.

A bond, a cord of the strongest emotion.

Her heart beat with the crash of the waves

and she tossed it out to satisfy her crave.

And forever it remains.

They called out to her, the other ones,

so she kissed her love good-bye.

But while away, she cried and cried,

“My heart is gone! I will surely die!”

She fled from that place and journeyed in haste.

Her love awaited, forever stalemated

between rocks and sand and grassy land.

The wooden pier splintered her feet,

her heart now at a faster beat.

The storm raged like an animal caged

as she cried out, “My love, I'm back! My heart, I'm back!”

The ocean spray, salty and light,

never brought her so much delight.

The others arrived in worry, spotted her and ran in a hurry.

Their cries, their yells, and shouts of fear

could not pass the ocean to her ears.

She closed her eyes, arms spread to fly,

and leaped from the balcony's wooden side.

The icy waters hugged her lungs,

welcoming her from her loving plunge.

The salty waves held her in a tie,

and she fervently hoped there to die.

In a lover's embrace, forever encased,

her body floats there

and forever remains.
