Beneath Grains of Sand
Indifference,
Frozen and uncaring,
Waxes and wanes
Upon the self which
Is me.
Silence,
Resolute and foreboding,
Splinters and carries
My heart across waves to
Open sea.
What have I done to deserve this?
Nothing more than the meekest of confessions.
Acquiescence,
Tyrannical and unmoving,
Forces and restrains
New-found fondness
By forming.
Solitude,
Heavy and hushing,
Meets and sustains
A righteous spirit
From storming.
What did I crave to understand this?
Only the smallest wish to hear mirrored affections.
Delusion,
Harsh and self-imposing,
Breaks and scatters
To reveal a possible reality
Without you.
Dejection,
Thick and unending,
Mazes and traps
A soul by revealing what
Is true.
What can I do to remedy this?
Merely wait for impossible circumstances.
Hidden,
Upon that beach
My heart lies buried
Beneath few precious grains
Of sand...
