The Lifeless Waves 

I stood there watching

Watching the moon over the harbor

The harbor that used to belong to us

I miss us


The trailer that we bought 

Bought with our savings

Saving you would have been better

I miss you


I get chills when I get hit with the breeze

The breeze you send me from heaven 

Heaven is when we would be laughing together

I miss laughing


The waves seem so lifeless

Lifeless is what you are now

Now my heart aches everyday

I miss you everyday 


The moon. The stars. The waves. 

All leave scars.

You loved watching the stars, as the moon shined bright.

You loved dancing under the moonlight. 

You loved when the waves would splash up and hit your face.

You loved it so much, you said you could live like this forever.

I love you always.
