Valentine's Day Poem of the Fading Heart

left alone and open by the shore

I am a heart made in the sand waiting for the tide to rush in

Patiently waiting for the waters to erase me because our love never existed

I wait by the foot of the beach's edge...because there is nothing else that I can do

Love is power

I have none

Without strength I wait to be discovered, adored or erased

I wait for my destiny to find me among the fallen debris left on the now moonlit shore

I am a heart made in the sand

The time it took to make has no significance

Nevertheless, the idea itself of making me holds all the wonder

Why did you make me love you if you knew you had no love to give in return?

Why would you leave me for the ocean to swallow?

I wait here hoping that you may soon come back to love me

I shiver with the thought that I was created merely for your eyes pleasure

Won't you come back?

I was made to love you

I was made to fade
