Footprints

Sundown opening the gates for the breeze,
cooling the heart. Chills.
Changing ground, constant wave.
You still remain, shaping my ground,
as you continue to swing by.
I just ask; please stop swirling grains
of sand around.
Waves have failed to erase their tracks,
they are just leaving more marks.

Sunrise announces its arrival as the grains of sand
jump in front of each other to receive a smiling shine.
Waves have messed everything up; there is no way
of erasing you out of my heart.
Don’t make me feel the burning freeze like last night.
Give me a time out and please don’t stand around.
Just say the words and I’ll be fine.
Goodbye.
