Watching the sun set
Tangerine-colored clouds on the horizon
The girl sits down in the sand
Feeling cold, wet pebbles beneath her fingers

Of everything she'd ever thought, done, said
As freezing cold waves began to wash over her
Slowly, patterning
Not skipping a beat
Just like her heart

Now the moon shimmers
High in the sky
The girl lay down in the sand
As she took her last breath
A weight lifted off her shoulders
And she smiled
