Here Without You
Twilight, and the ocean breaks
my bleeding heart once more.
Relentlessly the salty waves
crash hard, and rocks are worn.
I cry in rage and shake my fist.
Screaming aloud my bitter list,
I cry in rage!
I cry in rage,
the sea answers with surf and mist.
Twilight, and the ocean breaks
upon the rock-strewn shore;
now comes the dawn. My pain’s awake
and misery’s reborn.
Your tender heart and gentle kiss
are gone now, and I truly miss
your tender heart…
your tender heart
and all our special midnight trysts.
Twilight, and the ocean breaks
in never-ending score
of push and pull. My anger fades
as night gives way to morn.
Within my soul you still exist;
it helps me to remember this
within my soul.
Within my soul,
your heart and mine, forever twist.

**Note: This trijan refrain was created for @RichWithey's challenge for the month of April -- but it called for literature, so I wrote a flash instead. This poem however, was one that I liked crafting, and felt it deserved to be shared as well.
