The Sea by Corinne Bailey Rae

angst


intrepid dancers
leap,

my sandcastles shut down

and
you are left

wanting, shadows

fade

and 

seas are    just a byproduct
of
wishing (so hard) 
your dreams evaporate like cliffs

and

i build new ones,
still ashamed of myself.

i leap 

towards ocean,
biting 

dust and shaking off (my) sand
between

tides    as they come in
to

destroy me
once again...
