i glance about with wondering eyes
saddened and shaken
i raise my gaze up to the skies
seeking beyond the clouds what lies
i ponder my worth
to nobody there
from the moment of birth
did anyone really care
my gaze drifts to the sand
the cold sea nipping my feet
the shifting of the land
the depth there to greet
was this the way it was meant to be
lonely and alone in the sunset
welcoming the coldness of the sea
as it rises to envelope me
i think of the silent masses
that never gave a second thought
i watch as the time passes
my last breath in my throat was caught
eyes closing to the darkness below
the wetness of the sea rising
for it is my time to go
with no one realizing
myself i grant one last look
and then the waves cover
the sand below shook
and finally, it was over
