With The Tide

Some of my friends were going to Coney Island today, and the ocean there gave me inspiration for this poem.

With The Tide

I'm just here
Crying
My tears splashing down
Into the ocean
My body lain
Across the sand
My tears
Flowing away
With the tide
I can only cry
Because I tried
I tried so many times
So many times
Not to cry
To be strong
As if it would only work
To keep you here
But I failed
You still went away
Slowly, softly
With an imprint left on the world
But still
Flowing away
With the tide
