No more



Dark waves flow on the sand,
I close my eyes, no more,
I've walked upon this shore
and lived within this land.

I lost my path and way,
and wondered once, no more,
the ocean was my lure,
and made me want to stay.

Dark waves flow in my mind,
and leave dead salt, no more,
I've closed this prison door,
no chains or thoughts will bind.

Echo's call me back,
I listen, hurt, no more,
I've walked that darkener shore,
with waves of night and black.
