Endless
Is there an end To this path? A respite from This sea of wrath? The waves have struck me Stolen my breath Stolen the warmth From the centre of my chest There’s no land Calling on the horizon Just a heartless sea Ever falling and rising Should I stop And let the sea take me?… Continue reading
