Shifting Sands of Crumbled Love

No other choice
        as my shadow schemes in the sand,
      lone cries on lovelorn wings give grief heart’s voice 
        over scorned wedding band.
  
 Sandcastles are crumbled in undertow’s deceit,
  longing and revenge; a million grains ‘neath my feet.
    Avenged by briny blue’s retreat,
  illusions built too closely to tide’s edge rejoice.
