Here I sit in my chair
Thinking of you again
Wondering where you are
Going down memory lane
Have you met someone new
Or are you still with her
Still living your life
Like a wave you would surf?
One day you are up
Riding high on the crest
The next day you are down
Falling apart like a mess.
The current takes you in
And drags you down the beach
While you swim hard and fast
Grasping anything within reach
Just when you think
Your feet might touch the ground
The water engulfs you
And spins you around.
The farther you go
The deeper it gets
Until the water goes up
Like you are covered with sweat.
The water gets colder
The farther you go out
Until you can't come back
No matter how loud you shout.
The cold stings strong
Like a million knives
You aren't quite sure
If you are able to survive.
The wave will continue
Until you can walk away
To a life of peace
Without the water spray.
And I still sit here
Heading down memory lane
Thinking of you
And all the pain.
