The Shell
The Shell
As I walked along the beachThinking how much it hurts to let go of you
I spotted a seashell lying on the sand
The only one for miles around
I stopped and picked it up thinking
How much it reminds me of me-
An empty shell void of life
I put it to my ear and listened-
All the memories and sounds of you
Came crashing through
I heard the roar of the ocean
Like the roar of my heart
Calling to someone but no one was there
Just me and the ocean
I put the shell back down and
Continued on down the beach
Looking back in time to watch the waves
Wash over the shell, taking it out to sea
Along with all my memories of you & me.
