It's all about nothing,

An Unpleasant Salt

In the vast expanse of time, we danced. Bound by promises and dreams entranced.
I stretched my arms to hold you high, But you, my love, always let me sigh.

Like fragile petals in the breeze, I tried to hold up, but you pushed with ease.
With each gentle touch, my heart would ache, As you cast shadows upon my soul's lake.

Yet, I stood strong, an open chest, Unyielding to the turmoil, the unrest.
With hope's flame flickering within, I embraced vulnerability, and let love begin.

But you, my dear, with a heart of stone, Drowned me in depths unknown.
Beneath the waves of your bitter sea, I struggled, gasping for love's decree.

Yet, as I sank into the abyss below, I found strength within my waning glow.
From the darkness, I emerged anew, With scars as reminders, lessons true.

Now I stand tall, no longer bound, With wisdom gained, my spirit found.
For though you let me down, my dear, I rose above, conqueror of fear.

So let the currents carry you far, While I bask in the radiance of my own star.
I stretch my arms not to hold you tight, But to embrace a future bathed in light.
