Where The Wave Broke

Could have carried us farther

Mired only by ourselves

Horizon glowed in morning

Through vile was our resolve

A promise to betray

A betrayal to remember

Where the wave broke

And flushed us back

Back into the sea

Would have brought a haven

Sadness, that bitter failure

Night's embrace was colder

As the stars lit

One by one

A memory rejected

Rejection was the promise

Should have gazed beyond

Ashen clouds that covered

Saw us huddle

Fearing

That bloated bastard sunrise.
