Waves Poem by Kenzie Lynn

Waves wash upon the beach.
Like breathing the tide comes in
Then goes out again in perfect rhythm.
Like a song the sea sings,
And the orange glow slowly fades over the horizon;
Covering all the cold unforgiving waves.

Shadows form as the darkness covers the land,
And the trees whisper secrets they have kept for so long.
What happened that night still effects are family.
Slowly the sorrow we keep inside is tearing us apart,
And no one seems to truly look at the ocean waves.

'Remember' she says as if it's so easy...
Remember what? The way she abandoned me that night,
The way she fell off her surf board?
Or the way I found her on the beach the next morning?
She looked so pale and lifeless laying there;
Like a porcelain doll!
Washed up in the waves.

I know I should not blame myself for what happened to her that night,
But I can't help but feel it is my fault.
My fault that she is laying in a hospital,
And my fault she is in a coma!
I know if I had been there,
I could have saved her from the WAVES.
