The darkest, deepest blue eyes,

Looking straight into mine; he breathes hard as he slowly dies,

His blood, hot against my shivering skin,

His gaze, so warm, shuts out the ocean’s din,

Penetrating wet tears begin to fall,

As I whisper his name to heed my call,

‘Don’t go, don’t leave me,” I say,

Sand covers his body as death tries to take him away,

I hold him in my arms, close to my heart,

As the water tries to break us apart,

He touches my face with his pale, cold hand,

And says words I could barely understand,

‘I love you’, once words sweet from his lips, but now painfully sad,

Under the moonlit sky, I’ve lost the best thing I’ve ever had.
