Silent Heart

I lie with you on sandy shores

Together but still oceans apart;

Our bare feet submerged in warm mounds of sand

I stifle my tormented heart.

As our bodies bask in that bright, shiny sun

Thoughts linger through cool mists of ocean air;

Will you wait for me I wonder longingly

But these words spoken I would not dare.

And hours pass and waves crash

Your heart hitting my ear like a beating drum;

Children scamper by with buckets of sand

Off to a new adventure they run.

And hours pass and waves crash

My insides silently screaming;

The calm, warm smile spread across your face

Knows not what my aching heart is pleading.

I lie with you on sandy shores

Together but still oceans apart;

Hoping the day will come soon

When I no longer silence my heart.
