The waters are rough
Tide is coming in
Stranded on the rocks
I call out your name
I feel the waves
Lash out at my feet
Trying to knock me over
To catch me off guard
The mist stings my face
As the waters wage a war
Drowning out my voice
No one can hear me
Still calling out your name
No one can see me
Now shrouded in the fog
But you won’t come
You’re nothing but a ghost
A mirage to play tricks on me
I am trapped in the echoes
Of a voice that doesn’t exist
Doomed to seal my fate
As you move on to the next victim
I struggle just to survive
The seas of deception
Alone, lost and frightened
You were never a friend
