Sad Hope

I stand here alone bare feet on this beach,
waiting for the next wave of love to sweep me off my feet.

I've seen my heart dropped from the sky and shattered into 1000 pieces,
and in each 1000th piece of my heart, lingering pain increases

This ocean was made by my tears so murky and unclear,
i've cried a lifetime's worth all in less than half a year.

So battered and beatened yet i still stand, heart still bleeding,
I would kneel on my knees, cry another lifetime, praying and pleading,

For your palm against mine, and another stance with you by my side,
giving me life again and changing my dark ocean to clear loving tides.

If each grain of sand represents the days until you're with me,
then i will count each grain and wait every day, on my knees...
