Did He Really Care? Poem by lorissa cowan

I’m standing here,
As the world goes by,
My eyes are red and puffy,
From the tears I shield,

I whisper your name,
Into the sky it was dark and grey,
I look out…
The waves were dark and welcoming,

I walked towards the ocean,
Breathing in the sea air,
As the waves take me under,
I’m feeling free,

As the waves take,
Me deep within them,
I think back to where,
We once were,

And ask myself……. Did he really care?
